- Although I am a C++ programmer, I am interested in anything that will
- increase productivity, particularly reuse. When I think of reuse, I think
- of commercially or public domain available libraries. I see many of these
- for C & C++, but few for Ada. Is this because I am looking in the wrong
- place, because I am PC centered or because C++ has much more available in
- this area and you are looking at other types of reuse (internal)?
-
- I am interested in your views,

- Thanks, Roger Campbell
