Well I am not sure when your support contract started, but we definitely mail off handsome blue boxes with a CD ROM and printed manuals. Generally people get started by downloading from the Ada Core Technologies site, so it is possible you have not got your box yet, but you definitely should receive it, so if you don't contact sales@gnat.com or sales@act-europe.fr and ask where your box is :-) Seriously, we do find that people like to have printed manuals, especially to get started. Of course the printed manuals do get out of date, as does the CD ROM in the box, but they are a good starting point and the blue box looks very nice on the shelf! Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies
