  Ada 95
  
     <language> 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)
