Ah sod it, I'll start a new thread !

Started at Aston University in Birmingham uk in October. :(

God knows why they've chosen Ada - it ain't that popular in the UK!

I suppose I'm looking for an Ada manual or user guide or whatever you 
wanna call it stuffed with hard facts. All I'm advised to get (by the 
uni), and books I see in shops are all "flowery"*.

The sort of thing I'm after is a book with a chapter devoted to Ada 
statements, one per page (or so), giving an explanation, clear syntax, 
a couple of examples and a list of related or similar statements. The 
statements should be listed in alphabetical order as well.

Any really useful pages to point browsers at would be useful as well, 2 
(other thread) URLs noted.

* Flowery - used in "A Christmas Carol" Crescent Theatre, Birmingham. 
6-11th Jan 1997.

TIA
