Although I am a C++ programmer, I am interested in anything that will
increase productivity, particularly reuse.  When I think of reuse, I think
of commercially or public domain available libraries.  I see many of these
for C & C++, but few for Ada.  Is this because I am looking in the wrong
place, because I am PC centered or because C++ has much more available in
this area and you are looking at other types of reuse (internal)?

I am interested in your views,
