@ Ludovic, thanks for the link to rosettacode; very good source of examples. And good to hear that you rate the book highly. There don't seem to be many books on Ada, but there is a very recent one for beginners which I will probably get to fill in the gaps not covered by "The Craft". https://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484254271
@ Simon, thanks, but I already have that file. It contains all the code in the book but not the answers to the end of chapter questions.
By the way, I see the author also wrote a GUI libary for Ada called JEWL, the files for which I have also downloaded. Pity it's for Windows only. I'm a Linux user although I do have Win XP on VirtualBox, but I don't believe the current GNAT compiler will run on it.
