Abstract :
The authors present the design and implementation of VIPEG, a generator of environments for software maintenance. Environments generated by VIPEG extract information about software components and their interconnections, store it in a database, and make it available to software maintainers in a form which is easy to understand and work with. The generated environments consist of a graphical display, editing tools, a database to store programs, and a query system to retrieve information. The generator accepts specification of the target language in the Data Model Specification Language. An example of C language specification is described
