- Thank you very much for your addition! In my previous message I was more
- (too much?) concentrating on the issue of syntactic extensibility than on
- availability of the system.
-
- The full story is that several European research institutes (CWI in The
- Netherlands, INRIA in France), Universities (Amsterdam, Darmstadt) and
- companies (SEMA-METRA, BULL and GIPSY in France; BSO in the Netherlands;
- Dutch PTT; Planet in Greece) over the last 8 years have cooperated in two
- European research (ESPRIT) projects: GIPE I and GIPE II, where GIPE stands
- for Generation of Interactive Programming Environments.
-
- The result of this research is a system called Centaur, best characterized
- as a toolbox for constructing programming environments. The ASF+SDF
- formalism I referred to in my previous message has been implemented as
- part of the ASF+SDF Meta-environment, which forms part of Centaur.

-
- The distribution of Centaur is done by INRIA (or more precisely by a small
- company called Connexite, reachable at the above address).

-
- Correct, but for research purposes it *is* cheap (~150 ECU).

-
- I couldn't agree more, there is no better way to spend your Christmas
- holdidays!
