I did indeed find the LRM e-book and this is why I've been asking for the 2= 012 AARM (I'll add 2A's to avoid confusion). I'm interested in the annotat= ed version in e-book format. I want to try to read it as I've been facing = a few issues, miscomprehension, etc. in the hope to understand better some = 'particularities' and things like the Rosen trick and others. I've tried to generate the RTF from the sources but somehow I only generate= d the 95 version, not the 2012. The generation tools aren't very user frie= ndly and the doc very brief. I understand it is used only by a few. I do agree with another post about the price of Programming in Ada 2012. H= owever the Kindle format is reasonably priced, but then I don't have a Kind= le.
