It seems that ASIS is unlikely for me.  I do have perl and graphviz  
already.

Since there is little chance my employer organization will read this,  
let me vent why this is so.  We are running Redhat 7.3, gcc 2.8.1,  
Gnat 3.15 and GTK 1.x.  We have been this way since the project  
started.  They other developers still use GVD.  I am the only GPS  
user and that is an old version.  I can't run the newer versions of  
GPS for some reason, I believe GTK.

The project has changed ownership.  The new corporation has dropped  
the number of developers, like you would expect since we're now in  
maintenance mode. They are full of steam about CMMI, processes and  
procedures including security.  All outside contact will be cut off  
the Linux boxes and there is talk about "inventory" on the Linux  
machines to see who has what installed.

We do have a support contract with ACT, recently renewed, but I stand  
little chance in having management obtain ASIS until they are ready  
for the "great upgrade" they've been promising us.

On the other hand, they do pay well.  So, I'm stuck using the tools I  
have.

Later e-mails talk about perl and python and that's what I'll try.   
I'll save ASIS for another day in the far future.
