- ADA SOFTWARE REPOSITORY MASTER INDEX
-
- The Master Index of the Ada Software Repository (ASR) is a
- loose-leaf book which contains details on the software and information
- in the ASR. Each item of software is described by an abstract,
- information on the host compiler/operating system and target
- environment, and a listing of all associated files and their locations
- in the ASR. Each item of information is described by an abstract and
- a listing of all associated files.
-
- The Master Index breaks down the ASR into the following major
- categories, each presented as separate chapters:
-
- o ASR-Specific Information and Programs
- o Artificial Intelligence
- o Benchmarks
- o Communications
- o Reusable Software Components
- o Data Base Management
- o Documentation
- o Graphics
- o Project Management
- o Ada Software Development Tools
- o Other Tools
- o the WIS Ada Tool Set
-
- Selected items of information from the ASR are included in the
- Master Index. These items include the Welcome Message, which gives an
- extensive introduction to the Ada Software Repository (its operation
- and use) and the Defense Data Network (with emphasis on the use of FTP
- to transfer files from the archives on SIMTEL20).
-
- Appendices include (1) a Snapshot of the ASR (ADA.SNP) which
- names each directory of the ASR and gives the total size of its
- contents in terms of bytes and lines of code, (2) a listing of all
- files in each directory of the ASR with file sizes and CRC data
- (ADA.CRCLST), and (3) a listing of all files in each directory of the
- ASR with file sizes, line counts, and PAGER hashes (ADA.RPT).
-
- The Master Index includes a complete table of contents, which
- is helpful in quickly locating specific items of interest, and an
- extensive index. The first publication of the Master Index exceeded
- 300 pages in size.
-
- As the ASR grows, updates to the Master Index will be issued.
- The loose-leaf format of the Master Index was selected to facilite the
- update process and to permit the users to assemble the Master Index
- and the ASR Newsletters conveniently in loose-leaf notebooks.
-
- The Master Index and its updates are available through the ASR
- support contractor. See the file PD2:<ADA.GENERAL>ASRSUPP.DOC for
- details on how to contact this contractor. The Master Index is free
- to all elements of the US Government; the purchase price of the Master
- Index to others is $50.00 (not including updates). Updates are also
- free to all elements of the US Government, and their prices to others
- will be determined as they are released.
