Re: LOOKING FOR

Incomplete as it may be, it is at least the only one I know of that is being
actively maintained. AdaPower is also the best place for a newbie to start
looking around for info, so it's probably a good reference in general. It
would be nice to have a bit more info in the FAQ with some of the more
common programming related questions. (e.g. "how do I make integers into
strings?" or "how do I output numbers using Text_IO?")

Obviously, the condition is only temporary. Sooner or later the sun burns
out and everything on Earth freezes solid, or expands in size and burns the
Earth to a cinder, so its all temporary. So remind me again why I bother to
go to work every day? :-)
