I recently inherited from a member of this forum a nice textbook on Data Structures in Ada, but it was based on Ada 95, and I'm not sure it's in print anymore. In fact, and alas, only three of the Ada-based textbooks I find "easily" on Amazon date from the early- to mid-90s, and of the three recent ones I find, only the Barnes book is of good quality. >> >> I'd be delighted if someone would prove me wrong. > >The only Ada95 DS book I know of is the one I have by Mark Weiss. There are at least 2 others; "Data Structures and Algorithms: An Object-Oriented Approach Using Ada 95",by Jack Beidler, and "Software Construction and Data Structures with Ada 95",by Michael Feldman, both of which I own, and both decent books IMO, although based on a 27yr old language :-) -- Best Regards
