I brought in the pretty-printer and standards checker from simtel20 and in less than 5 weeks they have accomplished the following: 1. converted adafmt2.pas to ada, corrected errors and enhanced it's functionality. As soon as we get internal approval we will submit it for the repository. 2. took prettyprinter, scizzored out the the syntactic analyzer, generalized it, used it for several other tools including a project specific standards checker. 3. other tools are planned to use pieces of the repository tools. what the heck, there's still 5 weeks to go on the original budget. -- My mechanical engineer neighbor in Florida has a beutiful car made from major components of different brand cars. It seems to work for major components of Ada software also. -- regards, sam harbaugh ---------------------
