Comp.lang.ada readers already know this, but it might be interesting for
people in the other newsgroups.

From the "Public Ada Library FAQ", Wednesday, November 2, 1994:

Subject: What is the Public Ada Library?
Welcome to the Public Ada Library (PAL)
Last Update: November 2, 1994

The Public Ada Library (PAL) is a library of Ada software, courseware,
and documentation on the Internet-based host computer named
wuarchive.wustl.edu (WUARCHIVE).  The PAL is located in the directories
languages/ada and languages/vhdl if you access WUARCHIVE by FTP, archie,
gopher, the World Wide Web, or FTPMAIL, or in the directories
/archive/languages/ada and /archive/languages/vhdl if you access
WUARCHIVE by NFS.
[...]
Users wishing to access the PAL by FTP can use anonymous FTP to contact
the main PAL host (wuarchive.wustl.edu) or the PAL mirror sites
(ftp.cnam.fr and ftp.cdrom.com).  The languages/ada tree on wuarchive
corresponds to the pub/Ada/PAL tree on cnam and the pub/languages/ada
tree on cdrom.  Two hosts support access to the PAL as gopher servers:
wuarchive.wustl.edu and gopher.wustl.edu.  The host wuarchive.wustl.edu
also supports an HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) server for users of
the World Wide Web.

I hope this helps.
