Mathias" Subject: pcGRASP - A Free Ada95 Development Environment Date: 1997/07/18 Message-ID: <01bc9395$a5d151a0$b2a845cf@local.mindspring.com>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 257559531 Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1997-07-18T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: The Graphical Representation of Algorithms, Structures, and Processes (GRASP) Research Group at Auburn University is pleased to announce the availability of pcGRASP Version 1.0 (Beta 4.2) for Windows 95/NT. DESCRIPTION: pcGRASP is a development environment for the Windows 95/NT platform that is designed to be used in conjunction with GNAT - the GNU Ada95 Compiler. Using a high-speed internal parser, pcGRASP is able to analyze source code and display control structure information in the source code in a non-intrusive manner. The GRASP goal is to increase comprehension, without "getting in the way" of the development process. Other features of pcGRASP include: - Integrated Development Environment. Users of pcGRASP can develop, compile, and run programs without leaving pcGRASP. The tool automatically finds and highlights errors discovered by the compiler. - Multiple Document Interface. Like many commercially available tools pcGRASP allows users to have many edit windows open at once using the standard Windows multiple document interface. Each edit window may be independently configured. - Color Syntax Highlighting. pcGRASP automatically colors keywords, comments, strings, operators, identifiers, and control structure characters for enhanced visual clarity. This coloring is completely configurable by the user. - Automatic Reformat ("Pretty Printing"). Generation of a control structure reformats as it analyzes, resulting in easily readable and nicely indented source code. - Multi-Language Support. In addition to Ada95, pcGRASP supports these same features for Java, C, and VHDL For Java and C, pcGRASP uses the Java Development Kit (JDK) and GNU GCC, respectively. WHERE TO GET IT: pcGRASP is available in the PAL or at the GRASP Homepage: http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp pcGRASP is distributed free of charge. We encourage you to use it, tell others about it, and send us feedback so we can improve it. If you get pcGRASP from the PAL, or other source, we encourage you go to the GRASP homepage and sign up on our mailing list to receive information about pcGRASP and notices of new releases. NOTICE FOR UNIX/LINUX USERS: GRASP is also available for your platform with the same (and more) features. For more information, access the GRASP homepage above. ------------------------------------------------------------ Karl S.
