   A good source of technical information on reuseable
   Ada software components is the book _Software Components
   with Ada: Structures, Tools, And Subsystems_, Grady Booch,
   Benjamin/ Cummings Publishing Company, 1987.  The taxonomy 
   of components Booch outlines is available from a number
   of vendors, such as Wizard Software and EVB.  There 
   are domain-specialized components available from other 
   vendors (lib systems, Quantitative Technology, etc.)
   as well.  Government repositories (STARS, RAPID, and
   the ASR) are extensive; information on accessing the
   Ada Software Repository can be obtained by e-mailing 
   a request for information to: 
     
      ADA-SW-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL

   which is a good place to get started.
