Ada 95
     
         A revision and extension of {Ada} (Ada 83) begun in
        1988 and completed on 1994-12-01 by a team lead by Tucker Taft
        of {Intermetrics}.  Chris Anderson was the Project Manager.
        The printed standard was expected to be available around
        1995-02-15.
     
        Additions include {object-orientation} ({tagged types},
        {abstract types} and {class-wide types}), hierarchical
        libraries and synchronisation with shared data (protected
        types) similar to {Orca}.  It lacks {multiple inheritance} but
        supports the construction of multiple inheritance type
        hierarchies through the use of {generics} and {type
        composition}.
     
        {GNAT} aims to be a free implementation of Ada 95.
     
        You can get the standard from the {Ada Joint Program Office
        (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/ajpo/index.shtml)}.
