FWIW I have had problems from time to time with the AdaIC. Most
recently on or about May 8, when someone was looking for an Ada
grammar which I knew to be on the AdaIC site.
I pointed the inquiring correspondent to a site in Mannheim, because,
at the time I could not reach the AdaIC site. Where the problem lay,
I do not know.
I can remember other occasions when I had trouble, but cannot
pinpoint the time for those in the more distant past.
