You simply turn the tool loose on a directory containing a bunch of .ads files, and stand back. (Yes, they must be in a single directory.) This tool links up only package _interfaces_, since the goal is to help _users_ of sets of packages, not maintainers thereof. It would be more than trivial but less than horribly difficult to link bodies as well. Michael Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
