The Showit System: An Example of the Use of the AED Approach.
Abstract
The AED approach is a collection of programming concepts and working tools for use in creating specialized, problem-solving systems. This report is a tutorial document discussing an example of the application of the AED approach, with particular emphasis on the facilities of the AEDJR parsing processor for implementing new languages. The report is largely self-contained and should be useful to both experienced and novice AED users. The report is in two parts; Part One contains a summary of the AED approach and the manner of using it in practical situations. Part Two contains a detailed description of SHOWIT, the tutorial example system. Listings of the SHOWIT program files, heavily interspersed with comments, are included in the Appendix. (Author)
