Brad,
Good idea.  Actually, the source code is included in the archive.
Anyone who has downloaded it may now modify it, use it, and distribute
it for free, disregarding the shareware notices.  Anyone may also make
it available on a Web site, etc.  If you do so, please post that the E-
address and postal address in the program are old, but that I said
it's OK to use the program for free and disregard the shareware
notices.  Anyone who wants a copy of the program may e-mail me at the
address shown at www.adatutor.com (not the gmail address from which
I'm posting this), and I'll send a copy.
Thanks for your comment that my tutorial is the best out there.
Unfortunately, the program is rather obsolete, covering only through
Ada 95, but it's better than nothing.
