I guess these videos are pretty good, then?  Is there material in there
for an Ada Diamond of the Week to be added to AdaCore's Ada Gem
of the Week series?  If copyright and the wishes of the performers
will permit etc etc.

All references I have been able to find  (some volumes II + III
of accompanying material) point to a two-digit number of video
tapes by Alsys from 1984.
