There was an ODA tool kit developed at CMU & made freely available for
use as part of the MIT X Distribution.  I believe that the tool kit was
not part of the latest X distribution.  But, I believe it is still
available from somewhere for free or a small fee.  I have cc'ed this
message to two of the other developers of this tool kit (I was also
one), who I believe can answer these questions.  I hope they will answer
directly to these newsgroups.

Complete documentation for this tool kit can (only) be found in the book

I know of 2 such tools (there are undoubtedly more):

	- one in the ISODE package (known as PEPY, as I recall)
	- another one we are currently planning to use (I can't recall the details
	  bount this one.  I have cc'ed a colleague (Darren New) who has the
	  detailed info on this package

> Can anybody send me the names of companies that sell/give these?

Done.
