From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Ada/Ed
  
      An {interpreter}, editor, and {run-time
      environment} for {Ada}, intended as a teaching tool.   Ada/Ed
      does not have the capacity, performance, or robustness of
      commercial Ada compilers.   Ada/Ed was developed at {New York
      University} as part of a project in language definition and
      software prototyping.
  
      AdaEd runs on {Unix}, {MS-DOS}, {Atari ST}, and {Amiga}.
  
      It handles nearly all of {Ada 83} and was last validated with
      version 1.7 of the {ACVC} tests.   Being an interpreter, it
      does not implement most {representation clause}s and thus does
      not support systems programming close to the machine level.
  
      Latest version: 1.11.0a+, as of 1994-08-18.   A later version
      is known as {GW-Ada}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Aditi
  
      The Aditi Deductive Database System.   A
      multi-user {deductive database} system from the Machine
      Intelligence Project at the {University of Melbourne}.   It
      supports base {relations} defined by {facts} (relations in the
      sense of {relational databases}) and {derived relations}
      defined by {rules} that specify how to compute new information
      from old information.
  
      Both base relations and the rules defining derived relations
      are stored on disk and are accessed as required during query
      evaluation.   The rules defining derived relations are
      expressed in a {Prolog}-like language, which is also used for
      expressing queries.
  
      Aditi supports the full structured data capability of Prolog.
      Base relations can store arbitrarily nested terms, for example
      arbitrary length lists, and rules can directly manipulate such
      terms.   Base relations can be indexed with {B-trees} or
      multi-level signature files.
  
      Users can access the system through a {Motif}-based query and
      database administration tool, or through a command line
      interface.   There is also in interface that allows {NU-Prolog}
      programs to access Aditi in a transparent manner.   Proper
      {transaction processing} is not supported in this release.
  
      The beta release runs on {SPARC}/{SunOS4}.1.2 and
      {MIPS}/{Irix}4.0.

   Atad
      buckthorn, a place where Joseph and his brethren, when on their
      way from Egypt to Hebron with the remains of their father Jacob,
      made for seven days a "great and very sore lamentation." On this
      account the Canaanites called it "Abel-mizraim" (Gen. 50:10,
      11). It was probably near Hebron. The word is rendered "bramble"
      in Judg. 9:14, 15, and "thorns" in Ps. 58:9.
