- ": I hope I can lay my hands on the Ada ISO documents. Getting a hold of
- : a library copy of the 83 will probably be easier; ISO documents are
- : expensive and hence libraries are accordintly somewhat selective in
- : their purchase orders. It's not likely that I can easily find the 1995
- : standard."
-
- Another completely wrong statement. Try asking questions instead of
- making incorrect statements based on inaccurate knowledge (and apply
- this principle as widely as you can) :-)
-
- The better post would have been
-
- "Where can I get the 1995 RM, and how much does it cost"
-
- And the answer is that you can get it free by ftp from a number of
- sites. I suggest going to one of the Ada Web sites, where all this
- information and more will easily be found.
-
- Indeed, given that you are just starting to look at Ada, I would not
- suggest looking at the RM first. There are lots of other supporting
- documents that you will find provide a better introduction, including
- for example the rationale.
