I spoke to John at HILT2012 last December and asked him about an Ada 2012 version of his book. He said he was having trouble with the size of the text; apparently the Ada 2005 version is pretty much at the limit for a single volume (at least for the publisher he uses... and maybe other publishers as well). Thus he'd have to move to a multi-volume version of the book, which didn't thrill him. I was left with the impression that he wasn't sure what to do. I think he'd like to update the book but he definitely didn't like the idea of going to a two volume work. Peter
