Oh dear - never mind :-)

Yes they have! If you can get hold of a very old version of ada-mode, possibly
2.23 or maybe even earlier, it came with a few .el files that had such stuff in
it. One was tartan.el. There was also one for verdix I think.

I may have a copy somewhere, but I suspect if you can get in touch with Rolf
Ebert, he would be the best bet.

Hope this helps.
