We continued development of the Esprit de Corps Suite of legacy system evolution support tools. The tool suite consists of the following tools.

• ISVis - architectural extraction and localization tool.
• SIRRINE - model-based diagnosis and adaption tool supporting the MESA process.
• VisEd - a general-purpose architecture visualization tool.
• ACMEServer - infrastructure communications support tool for interfacing to ACMELib representations.
• ScenIC View - scenario management tool.
• REMORA - reconciles multiple views of a software architecture.
• Dowser - domain-based program understanding tools.
• SAAMPad - rationale capture and playback tool.
• MORPH - user interface migration tools.

• A tutorial on the MORALE process was presented at the International Conference on Software Maintenance held in Oxford, England.
• Rugaber also presented the MORALE work at the British Computer Society (BCS) Requirements Engineering Specialist Group (RESG) meeting on the topic of 'Managing Requirements Change'.
• Abowd, Moore, Murdock, Richter, Rugaber, Waters, and Wills participated in the Working Conference on Reverse Engineering held in Atlanta. Moore and Wills were General Co-chairs; Rugaber was Program Co-Chair. MORALE tools were demonstrated at the conference's Tools Fair. Waters presented the Abowd-Waters paper.
