It is true that ObjectAda 7.0 is source based, providing great
flexibility in access and control of program components, however
to answer the specific question of AdaWorld for HP, probably the
best solution is to hook it up with the best CM system available,
ClearCase from Atria.  Thomson offers an add-on called 
ClearCase/Ada for HP and other Unix platforms (and now also NT), 
which provides a clean and direct integration with ClearCase.
