" Hi Comp.Lang.Ada:
Understand for Ada Version 1.2.4, an Ada 83/95 reverse
engineering and cross-refererencing tool, is now
available here:"
I would just like to comment that it would be great if all vendors
considered the case of universities/colleges when releasing software.
I know from personal experience that there is little money in the
education sector, and generally even less for languages that are not
flavour of the day. When a lecturer is trying to gather good tools
for a subject, it is very hard to recommend Ada compared to Java (for
example), when all the Java tools are generally free.
Just remember that the education market is one (very important) way
to grow the Ada mindshare.
(Note i'm not commenting on SciTools specifically, i'm not sure
what their policy is).
Dale
