A new release of the HOOD Reference Manual (version 4.0) is currently under
approval within the HOOD User Group. HOOD 4.0 captures the Ada 9X language
concepts in a similar manner as HOOD 3.x captured the Ada 83 language concepts. The final version of HOOD 4.0 is foreseen to be released in Q1 1995.

Several vendors provide tool support for HOOD. Two of them, Sema Group
(Concerto/HOOD) and Techniques Nouvelles d'Informatique (STOOD), have planned
support for HOOD 4.0 in the near future.

The secretary of the HOOD User Group (Jean-Francois Muller) can be contacted at
