The point is that not all of the vendors support ASIS (especially the ASIS 2.0 interface for Ada95). So, which vendor you use is critical to the answer to the question. ACT has implemented pretty much all of the 2.0 interface including the Data Decomposition package. OCS is working on this. Rational has several versions of ASIS depending on whether you are using Ada83 or Ada95. The last time that I talked to someone at DDC-I or RR, they had no plans on rolling to the 2.0 spec. AFAIK, no other vendors have plans on implementing the 2.0 interface (although some support the 1.0 interface at various levels.) , for various reasons, I suppose. Some are supporting their customers needs for ASIS tools directly, some don't see a market, some .... I don't know. (I'm not intentionally leaving anyone's products out of this discussion. Please chime in.) This all goes to the core of my original post. Joe Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
