My ref.manual is printed in Sweden in 1983. I attended a course in Ada
where we programmed in Ada and run the programs, it was mid-80's.
There was a guy (the course teacher) there at the university at Uppsala
who was into Ada. It might been an interpreter we used but I guess not,
don't remeber the details.
