All Weller had to do to convert the Booch components to Ada95 was to get the _complete_ Ada83 components from Booch (when I checked 5-years ago, the cost was $1000 from Booch directly, and the format was Apple-only, for a real developer's machine), then write a simple look-up table program to replace the old constructs with new -- (read as trivial, and probably already done by SGI weenies). Maybe Gary McKee could help; he's getting taxpayer dollars for the pork barrel/boondoggle of promoting Ada95 on Apples. But I think it is worth the time of the Ada community to hear Weller hold forth for 90-minutes at their next smooze-fest on the East Coast about other people's work. I'll watch all of them in the funny papers. --------------------------------------------------------------- dweller@dfw.net (David Weller) wrote: >In article <3174E61A.15FB7483@escmail.orl.mmc.com>, >Theodore E.
