My standard reply to this question is Norman H. Cohen's Ada as a Second Lan= guage. I have the second edition which is for the 95 standard. I wish it wo= uld be udpated for newer Ada's but that's not happening. I find his exposit= ion to be outstanding, and he doesn't weigh the book down with lengthy exam= ples or a running book-lengh example, only short, to-the-point examples. Amazon lists it new for $595.15 to $3,295.38 (U.S.) or used at $84.85. I'd = say used would be your best buy. 8^) Jerry
