To run ADA-TUTR on a PC, you need the files ADA-TUTR.DAT and ADA-TUTR.EXE on
a hard disk. The other files will be explained later. An Ada compiler is
helpful, but not required. Just type ADA-TUTR to start learning!
The PRINT.ME file (49 pages) contains notes that should be printed. If you
give the command PRINT PRINT.ME before running ADA-TUTR for the first time,
your notes will be printed while you begin using the tutor. Page 39 tells how
to install ADA-TUTR on non-PC computers, such as mainframes. If you like, you
can punch the notes with three holes and put them in a report binder.
If the next sentence shows strange characters like "[1m" on your screen, see
page 3 of PRINT.ME and install ANSI.SYS before running ADA-TUTR on a PC. One
word of this test sentence should be [1mbrighter[m than the rest.
ADA-TUTR is "Shareware." Try ADA-TUTR for free. To use it after the free
trial, individuals must register and organizations must buy a license. Both
are very inexpensive, and give many benefits. See page 2 of PRINT.ME for
information. Whether or not you use ADA-TUTR and register or buy a license,
please copy the complete program and give unmodified copies to others!
We wish you success learning Ada, the very best programming language!

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
