I don't know of any printed version of the AARM. I think you need
to just download and print out the postscript version available
on the net in various places.

Wasn't Bob Mathis' company selling a print version for a while? What
about Karl Nyberg?
I did a Tucker suggested, and printed out the postscript version, but it
would be nice to have a professionally bound version. There's lots of
interesting (and funny) esoterica in there, to which I often refer.
BTW: Is it possible to get a Tex version? A Texinfo version? What's
the format of the master? I'd like to be able to look at it using Info
while using Emacs. (True for all the manuals.)

Does anybody know where I might be able to purchase a print version
of the AARM. Also, if you happen to know the approximate price that
would be appreciated.

Actually I received my copies ($40 each) from:
ITT Research Institute
4409 Forbes Blvd
Lanham, MA 20706
(301) 918-1500
adabooks@mtc.iitri.com
I bought the books several years ago. I don't know if it is still
available. Also, there are two books listed under the reference
documents at www.adahome.com.

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.
