Looking for info on ada 90x

[L. MAURY]

Hello,

I've heard that Ada 90x, which has not yet been released is supposed to
have object oriented capabilities.  Is this true?  Is there some group
developing new versions of Ada whom I could query directly?

Thanks in advance,

Laurel Maury

The Ada 9X reference manual is available via anonymous ftp from
ajpo.sei.cmu.edu in /public/ada9x/rm9x and some subdirectories thereof.
We believe it will become an official standard in the next few months --
I'm calling it "Ada 94", although it might not get published by ISO
until early 1995.

For a "gentle" introduction, I suggest you read the Rationale first.
The Reference Manual itself is rather tough going.

Yes, the new version has object-oriented features: type extension,
inheritance, dynamic binding.
