3.4.2 perhaps 3.4.3 - surprised? The Ada 2005 support in newer versions
completely broke ASIS so unless you have access the ASIS/Pro you can't use
any newer version.

GLADE is tricky with any version.

3.4.x should be OK.

BTW: The side now uses Wiki technologie - anybody can contribute
improvements or fixes.

Yes it does take some time - but once you have bunch of scripts ready it
goes almost by itself.
