Abstract
This paper decribes an incremental environment which has been developed to meet the needs of developers and maintainers of large Ada projects. This environment assists the user to develop valid Ada text while consulting other Ada packages and documents. It is built around an embedded syntax-directed editor which controls text inspection, modification and, subsequently, re-compilation. In addition, the data accumulated by a translator is available during editing to provide semantic assistance on request.
