Thanks to Tim and James who had replied, see below. The problem with Fortran (77) is that it is not an object-oriented language per se. Nevertheless, it seems that some people have found have found a workaround to make life easier. Bien amicalement, Christoph ======================================= #1 Return-Path: Christoph, I don't know of any CASE tools for Fortran, but Rational Rose is considered to be the best for OO design and it's the best selling. TogetherJ works on Java, but they may also have a C++ version. Both packages are very expensive, running about $2500-3600 for node locked licenses. Tim ======================================= #2
