- Object Master transforms source code files for a "project" into
- a "psuedo-image" database (somewhat similar to a Smalltalk image
- file). This allows the programmer to view and directly edit the classes
- and their associated methods and variables. Inheritance relationships
- between the classes are understood. It's browser/editor is very similar
- to a Smalltalk one. OM also understands C++ syntax so creation of new
- classes/variables/methods is assisted through dialog boxes.
- A similar product for MCL/CLOS could work through the wonderful
- CLOS metobject protocol to provide all these features as well as
- many others. A commercial (read "industrial-strength", "supported")
- offering would seem (to me) to fill a gaping hole in the CLOS
- development area.
