Thanks for the feedback Nasser.  You're right.  I'll add some sample screen
shots and a "before and after" example to demonstrate the pretty printer.

The price of Ada-ASSURED is $1,995 per floating license for Unix platforms.
The NT version will be less, but the price hasn't been finalized yet.  Keep
in mind that Ada-ASSURED is much more than just an editor.  It's a
multi-purpose tool that knows the rules and structure of Ada 95 and Ada 83.

There are some less expensive LSEs out there, but they are incapable of
doing incremental syntax analysis, true syntax coloring (as opposed to
lexical coloring), Ada structure editing, code transformations, Ada style
checking, or high quality pretty printing comparable to Ada-ASSURED. When
you think of the engineering time spent in these areas, AA pays for itself
very quickly and saves time and money down the road because code will be
easier to understand and maintain. 

Ada-Utilities is a new product coming out this summer for auditing and
processing multiple files at once (and for sites that don't need a new
programmer's editor).  The toolset includes: Ada-Audit, Ada-Prettyprint, and
Ada-Transform (this is like a language-sensitive awk, sed, or grep for Ada
that enables global editing that would otherwise be impractical to attempt).
 It will be $7,995.

Thanks,

Jeff

P.S.  I'll fix the bad background on the web page you mentioned. Sorry about
that.
