- tools using C++ 3.0 and the SoftBench Encapsulator libraries. Also,

- similar to COBOL/SoftBench in that it involved some SoftBench
- encapsulations using a language called edl.</p>
-
- <p>Worked producing Ada Bindings to Xlib, Xt and Motif. This
- involved using a modified C compiler to translate C header and
