(An earlier response I posted to this appears to have gotten lost, trying again...) What appears to me be the next generation of the 2167A/498 evolution is J-STD-016. If you're familiar with 2167, you'll get a warm fuzzy looking through this. J-STD-016 is titled something like "Software Life Cycle Processes", and is a joint IEEE/EIA standard. I got my copy via my employer, which cost them somewhere in the vicinity of $200--I think, for sure at least $100. Marc A. Criley Senior Staff Engineer Quadrus Corporation www.quadruscorp.com
