You should get emacs-ada-mode-2.8 at cs.nyu.edu:/pub/gnat.  It is an
ada9x(*) mode and has full support for font-lock.  Version 2.10 was posted
to gnu.emacs sources a while ago. An archive of that group is on
wuarchive.wustl.edu. 

Al> I cannot use lucid emacs for various resons.

You don't need to, but you can.  With some patches Ada Mode works with
XEmacs (lemacs) as well (patches will be integrated in the next release)

You shouldn't have posted to gnu.emacs.sources. That's posting sources
only.  You can ask for help on gnu.emacs.help.

BTW, as you use Emacs for programming Ada, use Emacs for composing
massages as well...
