Does it actually >run some external tool at checkin time to make sure the equivalence Before most people ever check a module back in they run the compiler on the module. If there is a mismatch between the spec and body then the body won't compile without error. Any CM tool that does a new build (as in an overnight or integration build) will run the compiler on the changed modules and any bodies that are non-compliant will fail (sometimes this can cause a $1 fine in some workgroups :-) Such a discipline causes the programmers to take the simple quick step of running the compiler on any changed bodies or any bodies that might be affected by a changed spec - before the overnight build done from the CM system. All of this is for Ada or course. _____________________________________________________________________ Robert S.
