No! That's quite incorrect, this manual is obsolete, and
describes an obsolete language. There are still some people
using Ada 83 (for that matter there are some people still
using Jovial), but to learn Ada, you should start with the
freely available reference manual for the current definition
of Ada, commonly referred to as Ada 95.

$1 is cheap, but you can get the current manual for $1 less :-)
