Dave,
  Is this really a good answer? I'm sure that the original poster was looking
for a short and sweet Ada book.  Many of us can't read or understand the LRM.
BTW, isw anyone out there working on a good Ada 95 book? Something that us
ordinary people can understand? Before Ada 95 falls into the same pitfalls
that made Ada 83 so intolerable to the masses, we need to apply the KISS 
principle to Ada 95. Keep It Simple, Stupid. The Ada community needs to become
more supportive and tolerant of the language's non-techies if Ada 95 is going
to survive.
