Abstract

Interactive program development tools are being increasingly recognized as helpful in the construction of programs. This paper describes an integrated incremental program development system for Pascal called Pathcal. Pathcal contains facilities for creation, editing, debugging and testing of procedures and programs. The system facilities are all Pascal procedures or variables and because of this allows the programmer to program the system in itself.
