Karl was selling something called Annotated Ada RM for Ada 83.
It was the RM, with the AI's (language rulings from ARG) interspersed.
This is not the same thing as the Ada 95 AARM.

For my version, I printed it out on a Postscript printer, and I took it
to a copy store, and had them copy it to double-sided.

I don't know of any version in TeX or Texinfo.

It was originally written in Scribe.  The postscript and plain-ascii
versions were generated by Scribe.  I believe Magnus Kempe translated
the RM to HTML, but I don't know if he did anything with the AARM.
