And that is the problem as my computer (at home) is offline, and one are not
allowed to do other than online browsing of this tutorial. :-(

Think I'll stick with Barnes for now :-)

I just had the same experience when I recently wacked a website (using
Anarchie).  On a Mac, you can use BBEdit to find all the absolute
addresses in all the files (say, the TEXT files that end with ".html"),
and replace them with relative addresses.  Problem solved.

People are often asking here for good ada95 educational resources.
That URL is for a cool-o-rama online html tutorial.

Oh yes... and if you notice the way the html source has been written with
absolute URL's - they aredetermined to keep people from just downloading it all
as a local file system (as I prefer it).  I contacted the author through the
website and he said it is done like that because the publisher of the paper copy
wants it that way.  Copyrights and legals hassles.

Not necessarily, you have to check the licensing and copyright
provisions. The fact that someone posts something on the web
does not automatically mean you have a license to copy it.
All copies, including these kind of copies are potentially
protected by copyright restrictions, so you need to check the
license before you copy. Particularly in a case like this
where you know that the copyright holder does NOT intend you
to make complete copies, you should be careful of whether
or not you are authorized to do so.

Whether copyright holders enforcing their legal rights is
or is not reasonable, or is or is not petty, is an interesting
discussion, but does not affect the law!

Plan B is to look at http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/
which includes a couple of tutorials as well as the RM95, Rationale,
Style Guide, GNAT for DOS and Windows, the old FAQs, source examples,
and loads of other stuff... and it's available on CD (1300 meg of
stuff for �5.00 in the UK, $8.50 in the US). There's also a copy
of Red Hat 6.0, a dictionary of computing, compilers/tutorials/
reference manuals for over 20 other languages, and a whole load
of other stuff. All designed as a website on CD for offline use.
