Thanks for the support and I'll will be attending the Workshop next week.
In a subsequent private response to my message, Paula sent the following
message that puts a whole diffent light on this message.

Mike,
No offense taken, but concern that I wasn't clear. The cost is each country's
organization to make masters from which that can make tapes to be distributed
at cost or less. The price is our cost to have them made because of the
special PAL format. The U.S. tapes, which will be available from Chris will
NOT cost $100!

Dear All,
Unfortunately the standardization of television signals are _not_ so
good. VHS is the format of the casettes, but PAL is the colour system.
PAL is used in Europe, except for France, where they have a third system
(of course). The French system SECAM is not compatible with all the
others.
PAL (Phase Alternating Lines) is a development of NTSC (Never The Same
Colour) ;-)
I'll make a poll with some of the Ada-organisations in Europe as well as
the board of Ada Europe. It is probably best to have Ada Europe take care
of the European market.
/Lars

conversion these days incidentally is inexpensive, you should be able to
get a store to do it for under $30. I bought a converting VCR recently
for only $600 which works fine (I don't mean just a multi-system VCR, I
mean one that reads PAL tapes and in real time generates a converted
NTSC output signal).

This post got a fair amount of flaming on various mailing lists, I
think this needs some clarification:
The above post is aimed at the European Ada folks, NOT folks in the
US. Chris Anderson of the Ada 9X Project Office posted a comment
indicating that approximately 3000 FREE copies will be distributed
through the United States (In the NTSC video format, which is what we
use in the US). Visit your local SIGAda institution.

Frustrated with C, C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
For all sorts of interesting Ada95 tidbits, run the command:
"finger dweller@starbase.neosoft.com | more" (or e-mail with "finger" as subj.)

Mike,
Good idea about distributing copies during the ACM Computing Week
regardless of where they are supplied.
