Dear Vendor, A standard components library for Ada would obviously benefit the entire Ada community. I have proposed the Ada 95 Booch Components (http://www.pushface.org/components/bc/) be used as the basis for this library. Initial support would be for the BC's as a de facto standard, with eventual inclusion in the RM (say, in Annex A). A question arises as to whether or not the vendors would support this idea. Clearly some sort of support arrangement is needed, but if the details could be worked out would your company support the effort by distributing them? --- Patrick Rogers Consulting and Training in: http://www.classwide.com Real-Time/OO Languages [log in to unmask] Hard Deadline Schedulability Analysis (281)648-3165 Software Fault Tolerance
