A blast from the past... ;-)

What's on the AdaIC is a later version of the "Public Ada Library
(PAL)" under it's (then) newer name of "Ada and Software Engineering
Library Version 2 (ASE2)" from October 2000.

Randy fetched the copy for the AdaIC from the Ada-Belgium ftp server
where we had put it up for everyone interested.  IIRC, it is the
final version of the "PAL" that was made.

I still have a box with most PAL versions on CD-ROM: Ada-Belgium
did order many to be handed out to participants at our events at
the time...

FWIW, the Ada-Belgium ftp server is long gone, but the original ASE
directory is still available at:
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/archive/ase/

Happy browsing...
