I am a Computer Engineering student and am teaching myself Ada95 using
the book "Ada 95: The Craft of Object-Oriented Programming" by John
English.

I would like to be able to get a job in the defense industry when I
graduate.  Should I get a book on Ada83 and study it also?  Or does
studying Ada95 make one automatically fluent in Ada83?

Thanks in advance!
