ON-LINE INFORMATION
Most AdaIC flyers and other publications are available on-line on the AJPO
host computer and on the AdaIC Bulletin Board. These electronic sources also
have other files, such as those whose length or complexity preclude easy
distribution in paper-copy form. In addition, the AJPO provides information
related to the Ada 9X project on a dedicated bulletin board and on the AJPO
host.
The AJPO host on the Internet
For those with Internet access, the AJPO makes a variety of Ada information
available on the AJPO host computer on the Internet. Its name is
AJPO.SEI.CMU.EDU.
The AJPO host can be accessed via the File Transfer Program (FTP), which
allows a user to transfer files to and from a remote network host site. FTP
should work for any host on the Internet.
A sample FTP connection follows.
[your-prompt] ftp ajpo.sei.cmu.edu execute ftp from your remote site.
name: anonymous login using "anonymous"
password: guest enter password of "guest"
ftp> cd public change to the "public" sub-directory
ftp> dir view a list of accessible
sub-directories
ftp> cd [sub-directory] change to the sub-directory of your
choice
ftp> dir view a list of available files
ftp> get file1.hlp [newname.hlp] get "file1.hlp" from ftp and copy it
to "newname.hlp" on your machine.
ftp> mget file1...fileN get multiple files from ftp and load
them onto your machine with the same
names.
ftp> bye logout when finished.
For more help information on the AJPO host, type "get README" and "get
README.FTP" after an ftp connection is made.
For those without Internet access, the AdaIC Bulletin Board is available on a
24-hour dial-up basis.

The Validated Ada Compilers (VCL) [D]oor provides full text-searching of the
Validated Compiler list by host, and by target where different from host.
The Ada Programming Tools (TOOLS) [D]oor contains information about more than
200 Ada vendors, their 300-plus Ada products, and the hardware on which they
run.
The Current Ada Articles (NEWS) [D]oor provides full text searching of our
abstracts of Ada-related articles that have been published in trade and
technical journals.
The Ada Bibliography (BIBS) [D]oor provides users with a comprehensive
bibliography of Ada-related publications.

DATABASES
In addition to the database available for searching on the AdaIC bulletin
board, the AdaIC also maintains a database of Ada projects. The Ada Usage
database was developed to track how Government, education, and industry are
using Ada in software development efforts. Currently, there are more than 650
efforts described in the database.
Ada Usage information can be obtained only with the voluntary cooperation of
the project. If you are currently involved in an Ada development project or
if you have completed a project using Ada, we would like to add your
information to our database.
