Yes ASIS is a beautiful thing, it is essentially a set of Ada packages that allows a user to treat an Ada library as a "database" of source code. Personally I've been waiting for almost two decades for an ASIS implementation for the Alsys/Aonix PC products. At one point in time it just might have made a difference by enabling hungry end users to add much needed tools to an open architecture, but now, most folks wouldn't know what to do with it. Could it be marketed, yes any good tool can be marketed once you show folks they need it and it solves problems. Team up with someone who will create a dynamite GUI builder for Gnat, (I mean a good one) and you could pave the way for a great environment !!! William J. Thomas wjthomas@WCVT.Com
