I am willing to act as a quasi-mentor for your Ada st;udies. I have been studying and programming in Ada since 1994. That does not make me the most qualified from comp.lang.ada, but I do think I can help. I have been programming in C since 1981. I also know Java, and have some familiarity with Perl.
