Several people asked for the Merise references. It took some time to
look them up, but here they are. 

Rochfeld, A. and H. Tardieu, MERISE: An information system design
and development methodology. In: Information and Management 6, 1983.

Tardieu, H., A. Rochfeld, and R. Colletti, La Methode MERISE: principes
et outils, Editions d'organisation, Paris, 1983.

Tardieu, H., A. Rochfeld, R. Colletti, G. Panet and G. Vahee, La 
Methode MERISE: demarche et pratiques, Editions d'organisation, Paris,
1985.

The last two books are very useful when using Merise. They are, however,
in French. It is possible that Merise is discussed in several conference
proceedings. If I find more references, i'll post them.

There were some questions on support tools for MERISE. Some of the well-
known techniques are supported by -for instance- Excelerator. The
PACBASE tool supports a large part of the MERISE life-cycle.
