It is already available at: http://gnat.webhop.info http://www.iuma.ulpgc.es/users/jmiranda The first address is an "easy-to-remember" access to the second address, which is my personal web page. The major contributions of this version are: - The document is now integrated with the GNAT 3.15p sources. - 176 hyper-links to the GNAT sources have been added (previous version had 126 hyper-links; the new version has 302 hyper-links). This simplifies the use of the book to read the GNAT sources. - 23 bugs reported by Jose Gonzalez Rodriguez (student of the University of Almeria, Spain) have been corrected. - The English text has been improved by professor David Shea (Faculty of Translation and Interpretation, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria). - A new index has been added at the end of the book. This index provides a fast access to any concept discussed in the book. In addition, the access to the HTML version of the GNAT sources is now faster than in previous beta versions. --- Javier Miranda University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Canary Islands Spain ------------------------------------------------------------- Title : A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE GNU ADA RUN-TIME Version : 1.0 Last Update: December, 14, 2002 Author : Javier Miranda Access : http://www.iuma.ulpgc.es/users/jmiranda Chapters : 1.
