It isn't in the best possible form, but the suggestions that led up to
Ada95 are all available, at least in paper form. Perhaps someone should
put them out on a CDROM, or at least on a web site somewhere.
Most of the lessons learned in Ada83 were quickly applied to other languages
of the era -- Modula-N, Eiffel, etc. Even Microsoft's current 'Basic' shows
some evidence of having been exposed to Ada83.
