I'll see about getting a copy. I'd still like a diagraming model that allows representation of anything that can be built in Ada - with icons for all the Ada constructs. What I know of UML is that it tends to dictate OOD - which makes it kind of lousy if the system in question doesn't want to use OOD or is already built & you're trying to reverse-engineer it.
