	I don't know if anyone amentioned a Pascal book that is perfect for
conversion to Ada. The book is titled "Pascal: An Introduction to the Art
and Science of Programming" by Walter Savitch (@ UCSD), and published by
Benjamin Cummings.
	The book is for an introductory course on programming, is well
written, has many extras (sections in the book specific to the art of
debugging, an automatic test generator available for preparing tests
based on the chapters in the book).
	If someone could convince the publisher to come out with an Ada
version, you would have an excellent freshman level book for Ada. In fact,
there are probably other Pascal books that have a well refined structure for
teaching.
