There are several sources for on-line books/tutorials as well so you can get started right away. Its a good idea to look at the FAQ, Articles, Resources and Source Code pages as well since there is a lot of info there that can be helpful to the beginner. BTW: It should be spelled "Ada" not "ADA" since it is the name of a person, not an acronym.

In 1978, after the Fortran 77 standard had started its review, but before the standard was published, ANSI published a standard on how to capitalize names. This standard was later adopted by ISO. Naturally the Fortan 77 standard, which was not in electronic form, was grandfathered in with all capitalization. However subsequent standards that had to refer to this language were inconsistent in their capitalization, did they use that used by the standard itself or that usually required by ANSI /ISO? The Fortran 90 standard used ANSI/ISO's capitalization to refer to itself and a large cap "F" followed by low cap "ortran" to refer to the Fortran 77 standard. Subsequent standards been consistent with the Fortran 90 typography. FWIW the original Fortran (I) documents, a manual and a user guide, used several different capitalization schemes, see http://www.fortran.com/ibm.html, but apparently no ForTran. In later documents IBM standardized on FORTRAN. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

On some machines you could choose what you wanted. Keypunches? Certainly not the IBM line (024, 026, 029); they had only uppercase on Alpha shift with digits and most punctuation on Numeric shift, somewhat like 3-row (aka Baudot/5-level) Teletypes of the day (but not the same keyboard layout; Teletype put the digits across QWERTY, keypunch on the right-hand fingers M,.JKLUIO adding-machine style). There were card _codes_ for lowercase that could be punched out from and read into the computer (usually only with certain special programs though). But I never saw any keypunch that would punch them (except by manually multipunching). > Some had the text printed in lower cases in the upper edge of the card but > the holes was the ASCII (Ascii?) number of upper case letters. > 029s at least did optionally print along the upper edge, but always uppercase on all machines I know of. This was called "interpreting". I don't recall for sure if there was an option to leave out the interpreter entirely, but there probably was; there was definitely a switch to turn it off; and at most shops there were some machines at any time that had it temporarily broken. The card code was/is completely unrelated to ASCII. It was often called Hollerith, although I believe the code actually designed by Hollerith on early (precomputer) tabulating machinery was somewhat different (just as the code now commonly called Morse code is not that originally designed by Samuel Morse, who probably wasn't really the inventor of the telegraph anyway). The card code does translate simply to EBCDIC or its predecessor BCDIC, but is not identical to them; AFAICR in IBM manuals it was always just called "card code", but remember these are the same folks who religiously talked about "storage" not "memory". > (The content of the holes that were punched out was a popular surrogate for > rice at weddings.) > Which, like the round holes similarly punched from paper tape, are called "chad", until last year's Florida fiasco a nicely obscure piece of technical jargon. -- - David.Thompson 1 now at worldnet.att.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

It is a nice intro, but it gets a bit annoying after accessing adapower X times as it takes some time to access the site even if one press Skip. > > It is no longer up.

In the mean time you can look at http://www.adapower.com/index.swf.html ;-) I have been trying to push Ada 95 on a local (country-wise) general computer USENET group and it looks like some people are at least made aware that Ada 95 is a choice one can make when choosing language. Usually it is C++, C#, Java and Delphi that is considered. Hopefully some of them will also start using Ada. Now I have to change all my links back to http://www.adapower.com/ so I don't have to see David's greeting. ;-) Preben Randhol ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread
