Long Branch, NJ 07764 keywords: Ada95, Java, Public Ada Library, PAL followup-to: poster newsgroups: comp.lang.ada,comp.lang.java,mon.se Date: 1996-05-31T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Hello, Everyone, I'm delighted to post the following announcement on tutorial material pertaining to Ada95, Java, their interaction, and news and views at the upper DoD level. This is now available in the Public Ada Library on the Internet. For those of you who attended this event, this is the promised release of the material. For those of you who did not, you may find the material to be of interest. The new experimental Web-based PAL interface is now supporting an easy distribution of this material from two of the PAL's Internet sites. The URLs for the new interfaces on these sites are: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/ada/newpal.htm http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/newpal.htm Note that the file type is HTM, not HTML. WU Archive is the main PAL site, and it is very, very busy (over 200,000 systems accessed this site in April). The CDROM site is in California, and, while also very busy, is somewhat more easily accessible. From these Web pages, there is a set of HOT SPOT buttons, and the one labeled "Adv Software Tech Open House" brings you directly to this material. This material will also be available on the upcoming Ada CDROM from Walnut Creek. This CDROM will be released in July 96. Enjoy!
