This file contains information on how to access the Ada IC bulletin Board at (202)694-0215. (Ada IC point of contact: Fred Yu) Public Access to the Ada Information Bulletin Board --------------------------------------------------- The Ada Information Bulletin Board is a publicly available source of information on the Ada language and Ada activities. Sponsored by the Ada Joint Program Office and maintained by the Ada Information Clearinghouse, this Bulletin Board is used to announce current events, general activities and indicate the status of various Ada compiler efforts. Access to the Bulletin Board requires a computer terminal and modem or a personal computer and modem. The Ada Information Bulletin Board system can be accessed by dialing (202) 694-0215, using a 300 or 1200 baud modem. Users should set their telecommunications package with the following parameters: Baud rate = 300 or 1200 Parity = none data bits = 8 stop bits = 1 After you are connected, the bulletin board waits to receive three carriage returns so that it can match your telecommunications parameters (The bulletin board initially answers at 1200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit). There are currently three directories available: <Ada-Information>, <Language Reference Manual>, and <Ada-Commentaries>. Within the <Ada-Info> directory, an alphabetical listing of all information files available, descriptions of their contents, and an Ada IC point of contact is available. The <Language Reference Manual> directory contains the Ada Language Reference Manual (ANSI/MIL-STD 1815A-1983 in its entirety. The <Ada-Commentaries> directory contains comments on inconsistencies/perceived inconsistencies, and/or problems with the Ada Language Reference Manual (ANSI/MIL-STD 1815A-1983). Both the LRM and Ada Commentaries are available only in archived format. The Ada information files are available in both regular and archived format. A sample session is shown below, with the users responses shown in bold type. ****************************************************************************** <return> <return> <return> WELCOME TO ADAIC INFORMATION What is your FIRST Name?
