Im on my second semester in college as a Computer Science major. We use
just the 'normal' Ada in our schools. I think its an AlSys compiler or
something. Anyway, I downloaded the GNAT and Win95 IDE files and want to
learn the new features of Ada95. Are there any online/WEB tutorials or
texts explaining the new features of Ada95 versus the earlier version?
Thanx

First, Ada 83 is not "normal" Ada, it is obsolete Ada, and it is really
a poor show at this stage that your class is teaching obsolete languages,
when Ada 95 compilers are available inexpensively, or free.
You should visit www.adahome.com for all sorts of interesting pointers
to the questions you ask, including poitners to tutorials, text books,
and other documentation such as the Ada 95 rationale.

I just uploaded a new Ada 95 tutorial to the web site listed below.
You seem to be asking for a tutorial that covers only the changes from
Ada 83 to Ada 95, but this tutorial does not mention specifically what
is new, it assumes you know no Ada at all.

Lovelace is at:
http://www.adahome.com/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.htm
It covers all of Ada95, but it does point out what's new.
If you're primarily interested in the object-oriented additions to Ada
in Ada95, jumpt to chapter 7.
