I'm working on a report of the Ada technology over the past 5 years, and I need some help. What I need is a comparison of what your company had 5 years ago, versas what it has today. What can be compared is things like methodologies, compilers, tools, instruction, etc. No companies name will be used in my report, so all information will be kept confidential. Below is an example of what I need: "Company XYZ used compiler ZZ 5 years ago. The compilation speed was 100 lines per minute, and included only a linker, and bare Ada. There was no defined methodology, and no instruction. Today, company XYZ uses three compilers, C1, C2, and C3 where the compilation speeds are X1, X2, X3, and accompaning tool sets are ... . Also, an internal methodology has been developed, as well as use of Company Q's commercially available product. Instruction is taught twice a year by a consultant." This is only an example, of course. I would like information on both external, and internal products if possible. NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS *NOT* TO BE USED BY ME FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO MY COMPANY. THIS INFORMATION IS TO BE SUMMARIZED, AND PRESENTED TO A SEMINAR. IF YOU SEND *SENSITIVE* DATA, PLEASE MARK IT AS SO, AND IT WILL BE DELETED AFTER I ADD IT TO MY SUMMARY. ALL TEXTUAL DATA WILL BE ENCRYPTED TO INSURE A MODERATE MEASURE OF DISCREASION, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND INFORMATION WITHOUT THREAT OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION LEAKAGE. I thank you in advance for this much needed information. -lance- ps: As a secondary concern, what do people think of nested packages? Where are they appropriate, and where not? SOme reusable software produced, like CAMP, makes use of extensive nesting of many packages within other package. Do developers feel this is the correct way to package reusable software, or any software for that matter? /* with Cute_remarks; with Cute_signature; with Disclaimers; */
