Thanks, I'll look for Alan Burns and Andy Welling's book.  It sounds
like what I want.  I looked more carefully at the blurb for Andrew
Shvets' book, and it looks more introductory than what I was hoping for.
I felt that Ada 95 Distilled did a reasonable job of covering the
basics, but that even after reading it, I still can't follow much of the
discussion here on comp.lang.ada.  So I'm hoping for something that goes
deeper.
