Abstract

An Interactive Programming Support System (IPSS) has been under development at System Development Corporation since 1965. The purpose of the system is to permit all of the programming processes---composition (in a procedure-oriented language), editing, execution, testing, and documentation---to be carried out as parts of a single, coordinated activity centered around an interactive compiler. IPSS attempts to unify techniques that are usually embodied in separate functional programs, so that the programmer need not know which particular program is performing a specific task. The system is intended for a time-sharing environment, with user interaction via a small tabular display or typewriter-like terminal.
