When a comment and a solution thereagainst are described in any one of a review document, a minute and a pending issue list, a reflecting unit reflects the comment and solution upon a corresponding portion of the document associated with the contents of the comment and solution. When, in connection with the review document, minute and pending issue list to be prepared during review, a specified comment or solution is selected on an editing screen of a system for editing each of the review document, minute and pending issue list, information about positions at which the comment and solution are post-scribed is acquired from a comment-solution management table and displayed on the editing screen of a associated system.

A delivery managing system for managing delivery of goods from a distribution center through an agent to a receiver is disclosed. A client provides at least schedule information of the receiver. A distribution server provides at least delivery schedule information and manages delivery of the goods. An agent server manages the commission on the goods by the agent. A data transmission network interconnects the client, the agent server and the distribution server. A means for determining the date and time for delivery of the delivery goods is provided, as well as for deciding the agent to be used, between said client and said distribution server. Also, a means for notifying of arrival and/or departure of the goods to and/or from the agent to at least one of the distribution server and said client is disclosed.

Delivery managing system

The present invention is a method for extracting and generating hierarchical specification information in which the derivative of data included in already-developed software is hierarchically related and the reusability of data which is stored together with a relating procedure is high. In the method of the present invention, an existing program is analyzed and a data item and a procedure are extracted, and a procedure relating to a data item is stored in relation to the data item, and data items sharing a used area, data items for transferring data, or comparison items are stored as similar items in relation to each other, and key items are selected from the similar items, and a hierarchical specification in which the selected key items are set is generated, and dependent data items are selected from a record having the data items related to the key items, and the selected data items are added as attribute data of the hierarchical specification.

A reverse engineering method for supporting software reuse in generating an upper level software product from a lower level software product allowing the reuse of some software product's among multi-level software products ranging from an upper level data flow to a lower level job flow. The method includes the steps of: generating an upper level software product using a lower level software product; generating relational information between the lower and upper level software products; inputting a request for changing the upper level software product via an input/output interface; changing the upper level software product in response to the change request; and detecting a reusable field of the lower level software product which is not to be changed, in response to a change of the upper level software product. A pair of the lower level software product and the upper level software product comprise an internal design and an external design which is higher in level than coded programs and an external design and detailed requirements a user supplied. Information representative of a reusable field with no change and a field that is not reusable which requires a change of the lower level software product, may be provided. The information is obtained by comparing the upper level software product with the lower level software product.
