The acronym "AARM" stands for "Annotated Ada Reference Manual," and yes,
it is different from the manual you cite below. The difference is that
it contains extra information (the annotations) about why the language
designers made the choices they did.
The AARM is really for compiler writers and power users.

The theory of evolution is quite rightly called the greatest unifying
theory in biology. The diversity of organisms, similarities and
differences between kinds of organisms, patterns of distribution and
behavior, adaptation and interaction, all this was merely a bewildering
chaos of facts until given meaning by the evolutionary theory.

Hello all,
Is there any difference between the AARM (which is available at the PAL)
and the ARM listed below ? I am thinking of buying a copy myself. And is
the ARM absolutely accurate in content ?

And Mr. Starner, could you please repost your article regarding the
issue of GNAT and MacOSX ? Thanks.

Notice that the annotations in the AARM have no official status
at all, they are not part of the standard, and do not affect
the interpretation of the standard in any way (they are just
the authors opinions, and observations). They are still often
useful, but it is important to bear this in mind. In particular
the annotations have not been subjected to any formal standards
type review.
