I find the Walnut Creek CD-ROM to be a mix of the latest and greatest and a _lot_ of old obsolete junk. It is the ultimate resource but you need to spend time sifting the wheat from the chaff. On John's disc he has spent that time for you. Windows95 is pretty much essential however (a surprising hurdle at my last place, almost no serious Ada people had made the move yet).
