Questions about Diana

Questions about Diana

[dmartin]

	Hi!  I'm doing some work involving Ada language processing with
Prolog, and I need to develop an intermediate representation that's
suitable for use with Prolog.  I've looked at Diana, and I'd like to
base my representation on Diana.  But I'm not that up-to-date on the
Ada compilation scene, so I have the following questions:

	(1) I have the DIANA manual published in 1983 by Springer-Verlag.
Is this still current, or have there been further upgrades?  If so,
where could I get the latest version?

	(2) Is there any way to get an electronic copy of the definition of
Diana (corresponding to chapter 2 of the manual)?  (Any help with this
would be greatly appreciated!)

	(3) Are there any competing standards which have come into use?
Is Diana still considered a viable standard?

	Please send your responses to me directly; if there's significant
interest, I'll post a compendium to INFO-ADA.
