(I spent a week in Cancun, and things piled up. Sorry for any inconveniences
this might have caused.)
I have recently received some information from the Ada Information
Clearinghouse on a mechanism that those people who don't have direct
DDN access can use to get files from ISIF (such as validated-compilers.hlp,
which has been updated twice more since I posted it). That information
is appended to this message. If you are not receiving the Ada IC
newsletter, I recommend that you do so by phoning (703)-685-1477, and asking
to be put on the mailing list.
With this mechanism in place, I will not be posting (I hope) any more
files that can be accessed as described below. In order for you to get
the latest up-to-date information, it will be necessary for you to
access the information yourself.
One item of particular interest that I should point out is the Ada
software repository. If you type "help ada-repository", you will get
a message telling you how you can access the repository through
isif.
Lastly (sorry about the length of this message), folks, PLEASE send your
administrative matters to info-ada-REQUEST@isif, rather than to the
entire mailing list.

Access to the Ada* Information Computer Directory
-------------------------------------------------
The Ada-Information directory is a publicly available
source of information on the Ada language and Ada activities.
Sponsored by the Ada Joint Program Office and maintained by the
Ada Information Clearinghouse, this computer directory is used to
announce current events, general activities and indicate the
status of various Ada compiler efforts. Access to the directory
requires a computer terminal and modem or a personal computer and
modem. The directory is resident on the University of Southern
California Information Sciences Institute, System F (USC-ISIF),
whose alias is Ada20, and is accessible via the Defense Data
Network (DDN), GTE Telenet or a direct dialup connection through
a modem. All of these methods will be explained in greater
detail.
I. Access via direct dialup
Direct dialup access is available by calling either
(213)305-9172 or
(213)305-8235 or
(213)305-7971
Once a connection is made, press return to receive
the ISI-SYSTEM-F, TOPS-20 MONITOR 5 (7460) banner. Then
procede to Section IV to log into Ada-Information.
II. Access via the DDN
The DDN is a collection of approximately eighty
different computer networks representing DoD facilities, research
centers and academia throughout the free world. All of the
networks are packet-switching systems with interconnections at
various locations. Access to the DDN is controlled by the
department of Defense and other responsible organizations. To
obtain access to the DDN it is first necessary to have a computer
directory or access to one on one of the several thousand host
computers comprising the system. The AJPO maintains two hosts at
the ISI facility in Southern California, the Ada20 and the
Adavax. Access to these systems is controlled by the AJPO and is
limited to those individuals providing a significant level of
support to the Ada effort. Once access is obtained to one of
these systems or to any other DDN host, the system administrator
will provide directory and password information to the user. The
following is the procedure for making a connection to the DDN and
thence to the Ada20:
1. Dial the local telephone number provided by the system
administrator to gain access to the DDN.
2. Press the Control and Q keys on the terminal keyboard
simultaneously and the DDN banner should appear. If this
does not occur, contact the system administrator for
assistance.
3. Once the banner appears a connection may be established
to the Ada20
