                           The Interactive Ada Tutor!

     On 25 March 1988, Software Innovations Technology announced ADA-TUTR,
     an Ada Tutor program to train people to be excellent Ada programmers
     in minimum time.  It runs on PCs as well as mainframes.

     Ada is an ideal programming language, because Ada programs tend to
     have fewer errors, to be easier to read, and to be much easier to
     modify later.  The U.S. Department of Defense mandated the use of Ada
     in mission-critical systems (DoD Directive 3405.2, 1987).

     Not just a "quiz," ADA-TUTR is a thorough course of interactive
     instruction that even checks "homework" assignments.  ADA-TUTR
     concentrates on teaching good program design, not just syntax, so that
     programs will take advantage of the features of Ada that make them
     more reliable and easier to maintain.  ADA-TUTR was written by John J.
     Herro, Ph.D., who taught a graduate course in Ada at the State
     University of New York at Binghamton, and taught Ada to employees of
     General Electric Co. and Grumman Aerospace Corp.

     When ADA-TUTR is run on a PC, an Ada compiler is helpful, but not
     required.  A list of Ada compilers available for the PC, some of them
     inexpensive, is included.  The PC needs a hard disk or a 3 1/2" disk,
     and can have a monochrome or color monitor.  Since ADA-TUTR comes with
     Ada source code, it will run on other computers with Ada compilers.

     ADA-TUTR is marketed as "Shareware," which means that individuals,
     schools, and companies may try the program without charge, making and
     distributing as many copies as desired!  To use the program after a
     free trial, an individual registers for a one-time charge of only $25.
     Organizations buy licenses for a one-time charge as follows:

                   Number of Users:         Price of License:

                      Up to  100               only  $450
                      Up to  500               only  $725
                      Up to 2000               only  $950
                      Unlimited                only $2400

     Individuals can earn generous commissions by selling registrations or
     licenses.  Full information is included with ADA-TUTR.

     An update of ADA-TUTR is planned with the next revision of the Ada
     language.  Registered and licensed users receive updates for only $5.

     For a copy of ADA-TUTR to try with no obligation, send only $10, or
     send $5 and a blank, formatted, 5 1/4" DSDD diskette with a stamped,
     addressed diskette mailer.
