The objective of the STARS program is to increase software productivity, reliability and quality by creating a software engineering enviornment (both tools and processes) that promote and facilitate software reuse. The STARS program is a leader in research and development in the area of megaprogramming and software reuse. I missed the original post but I don't see any mention of "products" in the STARS clip. Further, the original post should be of general interest to developers and software engineers. I think Eric's flame is misdirected and I hope people _do_ check out what is available in the STARS ASSET catalog. By the by, I am in no way affiliated with the STARS program. I am just familiar with some of their work. -- David S. Grieve | dsgrieve@ingr.com Intergraph Corp. | 205-730-3142 MS GD3005 | Fax : 205-730-3038 Huntsville, AL 35894-0001 | Bldg 30, Room 128U
