At last year's TriAda there was a great reuse tutorial given by JP Rosen. . He also wrote an article in CACM last year concerning Ada components. His . basic premise is that we need to work more like a EE does. When a EE is . designing a circuit, he will design for components that already exist . (adjusting his wonderful design to use as much off the shelf material as . possible). Most programmers (myself included) tend to write the software . ourselves, because we don't trust other people's code. There was also a presentation by Don Reifer in which he claimed that "the only true reuse is black-box reuse..." (or so I paraphrase). I agree with this Regards, Mikey --- . MR/2 1.50 #63 .
