"  Do you mean the physical computers have too little RAM to run the
compiler that came with the book, or what?  There are great differences
in hardware requirements of different vendor's Ada compilers."

No Ada compiler comes with the book, that may change in the future, but
certainly the version in my students hands is paper only! Furthermore,
the version that comes with the book is far from being a universal
platform compiler (I am talking about future versions of the book!)
so it may not just be a matter of too little RAM, for example the
students may be running on Alpha's!
