| 378.1 | Good guesses... | QUARRY::reeves | Jon Reeves, UNIX compiler group | Fri Jun 17 1994 12:14 | 6 |
| SDL: I think it stands for Structured Design Language; it's from U of Mich,
and has been around for at least 10 years (at least, that's when I encountered
it).
PCTE: I *thought* it was a POSIX-related test suite or environment, but I can't
find anything to support that now; I may just be confusing it with PCTS...

| Isn't PCTE something like "Portable Common Tool Environment"? A
standard defining things like how compilers, editors & debuggers
communicate with one another, with the intent of allowing mixed-vendor
integrated tool suites.

| Thanks... in the meantime, I even found a book on PCTE. .2 is right -
it was developed by a (or maybe more) Esprit projects.
Any further info on SDL? Books?

| re .0
if SDL is really that language from Umich, it almost always appears
in the string SD?/SDL. if you are still interested I can probably
find the proper name and the professor who pushed it.
dec had a right to use it back about 81, and i would guess it to be
about 10 years old at the time.

to correct .4, i was thinking of PSL/PSA, problem statement language,
problem statement analyzer, also done at umich in the I.E. dept by
dan teichrow. it goes back to 1971 and was still an active project
in the eary 80s. i should have expected more than 1 ??L project
at a time at umich.
so, no further help in the search for SDL.
