I found this text to be an excellent introduction to Ada and an early look at APSE's. I hope that Booch updates this text to include recent advances (and possible standardizations) in APSE's. Booch spends a lot of time talking about how certain Ada features are used to aid the software developer (private data types, separate compilation, etc...). It's interesting to note that these features are cited as the most difficult to implement in an article on "Ada Compiler Technology" in this month's (Feb. '89) COMPUTER magazine. Happy trails... ed mcclanahan
