For your information, Heragraph is NOT from EVB: EVB is just marketting it
into the states. It has been developped by Strategies, France. There is a
presentation about Heragraph in the proceedings of the Ada-Europe conference
Paris, 1993.

In France, Heragraph has been used in several wide-scale projects. They even
had customers who switched to Ada, just because they wanted to use Heragraph!
