  Please excuse the triviality of this inquiry, but can you all
recommend a good text on ADA ? I would prefer: maximum coverage
(i.e. a reasonably long book), suitable as tutorial and with
some reference utility, appropriate for a programmer with much
experience in languages in general (Pascal, Modula, Fortran, COBOL,
etc but NOT C) but with only understanding of object-oriented
systems and languages - little hard experience, NO experience in
ADA itself, good background on theory and why - not obsessive with
examples. Would prefer paperbound but hardback OK too.
