I found that insturctions wrong. But the site referes somewhere a
SIGAda 2003 A# presentation paper in MS-PowerPoint:
"sigada2003_tutorial.ppt". I recall that the link was broken, but I
found its copy by googl-ing. That paper contained correct
instructions. I still have a copy, but I am not sure about copyright
issues.
