That is one of the reasons I like to use GRASP from Auburn University. (www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp). It is as easy to learn as AdaGide. It has a decent integration with the debugger, and it allows the user to generate Control Structure Diagrams right on the source screen. One other advantage is that Grasp can be used for multiple languages. It supports Ada, C, C++, Java, and VHDL. Jim Rogers Colorado Springs, Colorado USA
