I would say where the files are is up to my customers.  I don't have
much insight into how they do large Ada projects.  But it is likely
they will not have used ASIS before. 

What I do know is that my customers are several large well known
military contractors (but I'm not at liberty to name names), and the
analysis software will be used on very large ongoing projects.

 Is it normal to put the .o files into the same directory when not
using ASIS?

I think this approach is viable, as long as we can explain to them
what needs to be done.

Thanks,
