Abstract

The development of application generators, which offer increased productivity through customized reusable software, is addressed. Their advantages and drawbacks are first discussed. They describe a method, called the dialogue-code generation system, for building application generators, and discuss its use for various projects. Unix tools for building application generators are briefly considered.
