Our Rational Apex tool supports the notion that large portions of a system should be separate and have a clear interface. They should only interface other subsystems as the design of the system requires. Subsystems are supported by allowing the specification of which Ada Specs are included in the "interface" of the subsystem and which subsystems are "imported" by who. Among other benefits, this concept allows subsystems to be developed largely independently. A "subsystem" is similar to an Ada package; just at a higher level. I can send you more information if you care to read it. TTFN Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | |Matthew C.
