I think it is GREAT that Intermetrics gives its users full access to the Diana Trees. I also agree with Stavros that it is unreasonable for a "user" to need to re-invent the front end. But, as far as I know, Intermetrics is the only Ada compiler vendor which provides this feature. Please currect me if I am wrong. doug -------

The Karlsruhe Ada System (running on VAX and SIEMENS (IBM-like) systems) also gives access to the Diana database. First the tools can include the DIANA package written in Ada to work with parsed and semantically prepared information, second there is an interactive tool (DIANA - Editor DED) which handels user queries using DIANA. Such queries use the full semantic information like "Where is this declared?", "What is the base type of this?", "What is the type of this expression?". Guido Persch
