You should check out GNAT. The price is right. You can get at some of the
download sites by going to http://www.gnat.com and following your nose. When you
get to the ftp site, go to the winnt directory.
The NYU site is very hard to get at but cdrom is usually available.

There is a book called "Ada as a second langauge", but it reads more like a
reference and book of examples. If you are planning to do work in Ada83
exclusively, I recommend you buy the older Ada 83 edition because you will
have to differentiate between 83 and 95 in the new edition.
You should also get a copy of the Ada 83 LRM and/or Ada 95 LRM.
For a tutorial, alot of people like th Barnes book. I started with Booch
because it was given to me for free.
