This paper describes a software resource that is being developed as part of the graduation requirement for the Master in Software Engineering degree at the University of Scranton. This project evolved from a series of experiments that were performed in undergraduate and graduate courses at the University. A basic editor was developed as part of an undergraduate course in rapid prototyping. Several students used that project as the basis for undergraduate Senior Projects. All undergraduates are required to complete a project as a degree requirement. This basic editor was handed over to a graduate course in Software Generation and Maintenance and used as the starting point for the construction of various software project management features. The system was constructed to support Ada source code development. However, the system could be readily modified to support source code management in other languages, notably C++. This paper describes the construction of resources that encourage the use of reusable software. Subsequent sections describe the overall framework of the system and selected details that carry out features that make reuse attractive. The system is called ReUSE (the Re use U niversity of S cranton E nvironment).ReUSE is an Ada programming environment which facilitates and promotes code reuse by individual developers or teams of developers. It provides centralized storage of project files, a package browser, automatic function and procedure call creation, a compiler interface, interactive error processing, multiple simultaneous editors, standard windows tools (menus, toolbars, etc.), and other features to help the developer write and reuse Ada code efficiently.ReUSE was developed in Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 (32-bit) for the Windows 95 / NT operating systems.
