Vienna MAKE

Several CASE tools (mainly code generators like the TAC described below) have been created for parts of VISTA. As system-independence and portability is a major design goal of VISTA, a software configuration management utility has finally been implemented as consistent part of the framework's base system. Vienna MAKE (VMAKE)gif is designed as a monolithic self-contained tool and is entirely based on the very same XLISP interpreter which is also used as basis for the task level implementationgif. It needs only compiler, linker, and archive maintainer and overcomes all the disadvantages and limitations of make-based solutions. An application example of VMAKE is given in Section 8.
