I needed to add a tool command to run GVD, but this was easy to do. Look like quite nice piece of software. However it has white background (although I suppose it should be possible to change it to black through configuration files or recompilation). It has something similiar what GRASP had (CSD - Code Structure Diagram) - here it is just straight line from begin to end, while in GRASP it was quite spohisticated structure. Code completion seems quite intelligent - it proposes not only standard possibilities, but also looked inside my own 'with-ed' packages and proposed exception or procedure names from there. I think I may start use it under Linux (I also had some touble getting to know Emacs, although I tried). For Windows AdaGIDE still is nice option. Especially, that it is not so much worse than SciTE - it does not have code completion and this simple CSD, but development is not abondoned so one day it may have all this extra features. Thanks for useful address, Mike
