John English's adacraft online book

[Simon Wright]

The links to 'Ada 95 - the craft of object-oriented programming' are
broken; has anyone taken a copy? Ada-Belgium? (I had a look, couldn't
see anything).

This is good. The links to the example code have been fixed.

This gets you there after a bit of roundaboutation. The example code
links still point to Brighton University.

This is PDF, but good. Again, the example code links are broken.

You must have had an old link to this, I can't see any links to it on
the site. The AdaCraft link I did find (at [1]) is broken. Again, the
example code links are broken.

I can explain this, at least. The old (really "middle") AdaIC site had a 
copy (not links) to the AdaCraft book (by permission of the author, of 
course). This was a 2002 version of the book. When the site was redesigned, 
it was decided to link to the book rather than hosting it, so the pages 
switched to links. (I think there was a newer version available that we'd 
never upgraded to, so that probably was a good choice.)

The above link was the access on the previous version of the site; while we 
try to automatically redirect to the correct pages, we didn't try to emulate 
the subtags and thus the above doesn't do anything.

                                                            Randy.
