Ada-ASSURED and Ada-Utilities released for Linux

[Kirk Macolini]

GrammaTech announced that it has released new versions of its
multi-purpose development tools, Ada-ASSURED and Ada-Utilities,
running on the Linux operating system for the first time.

Ada-ASSURED and Ada-Utilities are language-based tools for editing,
browsing, automatic standards and style enforcement, code analysis,
and code transformation. Language-based Ada tools understand the rules
and structure of the Ada programming language, to automate many tasks
that most software engineers still perform manually with text-based
tools.

Evaluation copies of Ada-ASSURED can be downloaded at:

Ada-ASSURED ensures consistent coding style, prevents syntax errors
while editing, and provides numerous productivity features for writing
and reviewing code. Available for Windows NT, most Unix platforms, and
now Linux, it features WYSIWYG language-sensitive editing, automatic
standards enforcement, high-quality pretty printing, and hypertext
browsing in a single package that can be integrated with any Ada
compiler.

Ada Utilities is a language-sensitive toolset for quality and
standards auditing of whole Ada projects.  It combines the power of
Ada-ASSURED with tools for auditing, searching, and prettyprinting
entire Ada projects.

The Linux versions of Ada-ASSURED and Ada-Utilities are currently
available directly from GrammaTech, and will be available through
Aonix in the first quarter of 2002.

Excuse me if this seems impertinent, but would you happen to have a version of Ada ASSURED and/or Utilities for Linux that is within the price range of a lowly college student?

The product looks incredibly useful, however it's outta my price range by about $6k. ;->

Thanks.

The GPL'ed Gnat Emacs environment does most of that stuff. It requires that you
use Gnat, and probably isn't nearly as slick, but for about $6K less you can't
complain.

I was just quoted a price for inidividual developers
for the linux edition of $299 USD. I am not sure if
that applies across the board considering thier
regular price is $1,999 USD. Its still a bit too much.
Code Forge is a much cheaper option.

I don't think Ada-ASSURED is aiming for the college student
market.  $299 is a bargain for small team development.

We use use Ada-ASSURED to enforce uniform style across a
small development team.  It goes slightly deeper than the
rule checking provided by Rational Apex and the GNAT style
checking options.  It also cleans up the code (ala indent or
Emacs Ada-mode) rather nicely.

Only negative is the amount of Scheme you must know to get
Ada-ASSURED to really work wonders.  It would be great if
an equivalent ASIS-based product was available at the same
price (Ada Analyzer is not in the same price range).
