The new version of his book Programming in Ada95, 2nd ed (just came out
a few weeks ago) does indeed come with full examples.  Is that book
published by Addison-Wesley?  Check the publisher's web-site to see if
the examples are posted there.

In the mean time, I've posted lots of Ada code at the Ada patterns list
archives.  

<http://www.acm.org/archives/patterns.html>

I've been converting the examples in Design Patterns from C++ to Ada95.
Perhaps you can find some examples there.
