Thanks for your response. I am putting together a formal software
development process here. It is being modelled on IBM's cleanroom
process. Larch should fit well into the 'stepwise refinement' idea
central to the cleanroom process. It should also be usable by our
staff (as opposed to say 'Z'). Thanks also for the invitation to
'jump in'. The opportunity to perform a few belly flops should speed
my learning process.
