This on-line book is an excelent addition > to all the pieces and one that has been, to some extent, missing. See my .sig for a link to the BURKS set of CDs. This set is priced at �7.50 for 4 CDs (a DVD edition will also be available shortly), and it includes my book and Mike Smith's book, the RM and Rationale, the old FAQs and Lovelace, as well as GNAT, GNATCOM, my GnatIDE, AdaGIDE, GVD, JEWL, GTk, TASH, ... The whole lot is also online -- the Ada page is here: http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/ It also includes tutorials, reference material and compilers for about 20 other languages, a dictionary of computing, a complete set of RFCs, many of the W3C specifications, lots more tutorial and reference material, and a copy of Mandrake Linux. Would this do, do you think? :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------- John English | mailto:je@brighton.ac.uk Senior Lecturer | http://www.comp.it.bton.ac.uk/je Dept. of Computing | ** NON-PROFIT CD FOR CS STUDENTS ** University of Brighton | -- see http://burks.bton.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------
