I've cc'ed you with this followup.

The Booch Components for Ada 83 are available via Wizard Software for
somewhere in the $600 range (for single user).  I don't have the
phone number, but drop some e-mail to Grady Booch (egb@rational.com).
It's not clear to me that Rational sells the Booch Components, but if
you call them, they will give you the right number too.

All that being said, you should also know that work is afoot to
create a _free_ set of Booch Components for Ada94 (I should know, I'm
responsible for them :-).  These components are based off the more
mature C++ Booch Components.  They should be released before the
first validated compilers hit the streets.
