No! That's quite incorrect, this manual is obsolete, and
describes an obsolete language. There are still some people
using Ada 83 (for that matter there are some people still
using Jovial), but to learn Ada, you should start with the
freely available reference manual for the current definition
of Ada, commonly referred to as Ada 95.

$1 is cheap, but you can get the current manual for $1 less :-)

For that matter, you can get the Ada 83 manual, in online HTML or
plain text, at <http://www.adahome.com/Resources/refs/83.html>.

FS: [For Sale] Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language ANSI/MIL-STD-1815 A

For Sale
Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language
ANSI/MIL-STD-1815 A
United States Department of Defense

This is a printed copy of the Ada language reference standard, as of
January 1983.  Comes in a three-ring binder, and is roughly 250 pages.
(Pages are numbered by section, rather than total page count.)

This would make a good reference for anyone who is having to learn or
use the Ada language.
