First Year of the HBAP Ada WWW Server

First Year of the HBAP Ada WWW Server

[Magnus Kempe]

The Home of the Brave Ada Programmers (HBAP Ada WWW Server) "celebrated"
its 1st anniversary on March 3rd.  There have been more than 250'000
hits since this server was created.  Usage has steadily increased, with
a total of about 32'000 hits in January 1995 (compare to 7'500 in March
1994) and over 40'000 hits in the first half of March 1995!

The HBAP keeps growing.  Here are some salient, recent additions and
contributions:

March 1995
      The hypertext version of the Ada 95 Reference Manual (final
      version 6.0) is online.  The hypertext Reference Manual and
      Rationale are downloadable by FTP.  A group at the University of
      Geneva has created a very nice set of documents describing and
      cross-referencing the syntax rules of Ada 95, illustrated with
      syntactic diagrams ("syntax as railroad maps" :-).

February 1995
      New repository registered: AdaBasis.  Added a tutorials section
      (based on info assembled by David Wheeler).  Added PDI in the
      examples section (contributed by David Wheeler).  The Ada 95
      Rationale is online in hypertext format (contributed by Laurent Guerby).

January 1995 
      Added a free online Ada 95 tutorial: Lovelace (written by David Wheeler).
      "Programming with Ada" FAQ added.

December 1994 
      Added a searchable bibliography in the Books, Articles, and
      Bibliographies section (refer file contributed by Dave Emery).
      Added a section for Ada examples.  Added a link to the formal
      definition for the SPARK Ada 83 subset.


Do _you_ also have something to contribute?  Then Presto!  Email it to me.

Direct your www-browser at the HBAP, URL http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/ for

And we all owe you a debt of gratitude for the hard work to get
this going, and keep it up-to-date.  The HBAP Ada WWW server was 
one of the first, and is still one of the best, language-focused WWW servers.

Ada compiler

[JG TAYLOR]

Can you tell me where I get hold of a ada compiler before this weekend to operate on
a macintosh.  It would be very helpful.

There is a nice Ada 83 (pseudo-machine) compiler at

   ftp://ftp.seas.gwu.edu/pub/ada/gw-adaed/mac/...

(or, in English instead of URL: FTP to "ftp.seas.gwu.edu" and change
into subdirectory pub/ada/gw-adaed/mac and poke around).
