Actually, Mr. Dewar did answer one of your questions (with other good advice
(and some senseless nit picking) thrown in for free).  You asked for a WWW
or FTP site where you can find good code examples.  He gave you
http://www.adahome.com.

Also, based on your post I am assuming that you are a C++ programmer.  There
is a book called Ada 95 for C and C ++ Programmers, by Simon Johnston, ISBN:
0201403633.  I have not personally used (or even seen) this book, however it
did get good reviews, and you may find it helpful.  Check out
http://www.amazon.com for purchasing info.  There is a review of the book on
the Ada home page (http://www.adahome.com).  By the way, if you do get it,
let me know what you think of it.  I was thinking it may make a good text
for here at work, where many folks coming in know C++, and almost none have
even _heard_ of Ada.

Side note on the Ada vs. ADA nit picking that is so prevalent here:  Right
outside my cube wall is a poster with the main title being "A World View of
ADA" with "ADA" in big capital letters.  How can we expect those new to Ada
to get it right when the folks spreading the propaganda can't even get it
right!! :)
