This is understandable, since the great majority of existing books were written for Ada83. It seems a shame, though, that so much intellectual heritage is just discarded. So, I have combed through the older titles, looking for books that might still be worthwhile reading for the Ada95/05/12 programmer. None of these books are in my library, so I can't comment on them. If you can offer an evaluation of any, please do. There may be other good books that I've missed. In 1996, someone posted a long list of available titles here. https://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/3b7f6ce4e14a4ee7/ -------------------------------------------- Agrawala.
