Booch Components - Source

Booch Components - Source

[Marc Kiebooms]

I am looking for the source of the booch components, specifically
the part about graphs.
Any reference to public or commercial source is welcome.
Should alternative libraries be available I would be pleased to hera about them.

Thanks

The source for the Ada83 Booch COmponents are copyrighted and can
only be obtained from Grady Booch (Wizard Software).  The source for
the Ada95 Booch Components will be publicly available under GNU
copyleft.  The first general release of the Booch COmponents should
be in the early summer, maybe sooner if GNAT cooperates :-)

Doesn't Grady Booch have a problem with someone else releasing 
"Booch Components"? I'm suprised he is so generous with his
name.

T.E.D.

Grady controls the design and public release cycle of the Booch
Components for Ada95.  I'm just providing the labor :-)  He's quite
aware of what's going on and has no problem with it.
