Abstract

Source to source translation tools provide a way of integrating the strengths of production programming environments like C/UNIX™ with rapid prototyping environments like Smalltalk-80™ into a comprehensive hybrid environment that spans more of the software development life-spiral than ever before. This paper describes a tool-assisted process for translating Smalltalk-80 programs into Objective-C™, and shows how the tool, called Producer, is used in practice. To assist others in using this translation tool, we have made Producer publicly available without charge on USENET.
