Good book on Ada 9x

Good book on Ada 9x

[David A. Vohwinkel]

Can anyone point me to a good book on Ada that includes Ada 9x.  Something
that goes into a fair amount of detail on the features of Ada 9x, and that 
would make a good reference book.  Sorry if this has been asked 1,000,000 
times.. :((

The Ada Language Reference Manual is _the_ reference book on Ada 95 (note, 
it's not 9X any more). It's not that easy to read, and I wouldn't use it for 
students.

No endorsements, but I have seen at least two books that have extensive
coverage of Ada 95 (aka Ada 9X).  The titles and authors are
approximately... "Rendezvous with Ada 95" by Naiditch,
and "Programming In Ada with an Intro to Ada 9X" by Barnes.

About: Good book on Ada 9x

[Michel Gauthier]

In fact, this is not exactly a reply to " Good book on Ada 9x", but a request,
essentially sent to publishers, but which can be forwarded to them by authors.

Publishers seldom send review copies of books to France. Some of them
do it, systematically or sometimes. Others never do it.

Ada-France members are of course interested to be informed of new books 
about Ada and read analyses of them.
Such analyses can be published in "Technique et Science en Informatique"
(French words self-understandable inEnglish), which is the most important
journal in French about computer science.
Recently, we had analyses of some IOS Press books, and of recent books
by Barnes, Booch, Feldman and Skansholm.

Review copies can be sent to :
     T. S. I.
     156, boulevard Pereire
     F_75017 Paris

This is of course not restricted to Ada, but I am sure that books on Ada
(in English) shall be read and the analyse published, which I cannot guarantee
for all subjects.

Thanks in advance.
