It took me some time to get my hands on the french book I was thinking
of.  And here it is

  Jean-Etienne Rombaldi
  "Algorithmique numerique et Ada"
  Masson 1994
  ISBN 2-225-84384-8
  
This book comes with a DOS floppy disk, with packages written in Ada 83 
for OpenAda.  It goes through the following topics:

  linear numerical analysis (matrices, linear systems, eigenvalues)
  non-linear systems (Newton, roots of polynomials)
  approximation and interpolation (Bernstein, Bezier, B-Splines)
  numeric approximation of integrals (Gauus, Monte-Carlo, FFT)
  ordinary differential equations (Runge-Kutta, shooting method)
  finite differences

The author has now moved.  But I would bet that he keeps working 
with Ada.
