I've just started learning Ada and am using the book "Ada95: The Craft of Object Oriented Programming", by John English. I know there are plenty of other resources such as the one on Adacore, which covers Ada 2012, but I like the style and flow of this book. Anyway, I was wondering whether anyone in the group has the answers to the end of chapter exercises? The author has now retired and the link to them is dead.
Thanks in Advance!

I wish to learn Ada(*) so I am looking for a free compiler to run on
Windows XP.  Any suggestions?

(* Do you really?  Yes, really.)

with Interfaces ;  --  
use  Interfaces ;  -- 

Unless you need a special type just uses the predefined types in this package.  
Such as:
   Unsigned_8  ; --  8 bit
   Unsigned_16 ; -- 16 bit
   Unsigned_32 ; -- 32 bit
   Unsigned_64 ; -- 64 bit

I am interested in learning Ada. Can anyone recommend a good book
which is not VERY basic since I do know C and Pascal and have a
good knowledge of multi-processing.

Please reply to: tfrancis@wpi.wpi.edu

I tried to reply to every message that I received, but the mailer
returned many as undeliverable. Sorry to post this.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their recommendations and general
advice. I'll wander down to the Coop and look at the recommendations
in the next few days.

I've decided that is time to learn Ada.  What's the best way to do
this?  Which books are interesting and useful?

I don't need to learn to program (I'm semi-fluent in C, Pascal,
FORTRAN, and have dabbled with Modula-2, CLU, and many more that I
can't remember).  I need to get an overview of the language, and a
glimpse of some of the paradigms.
