ResumoIn the development of Designer's Workbench, special consideration was given to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the production environment. Since DWB filled an immediate need in the computer-aided design world, production use of the system was started early and became an important factor as further development was planned. The reliability of the production system needed to be insured, while at the same time allowing the frequent changes and additions required in the normal course of development and general maintenance. To fulfill these requirements, we have implemented a “version control” system, allowing several independent versions of the entire system to be available simultaneously. In the general maintenance of DWB, we have used the Source Code Control System and make utility provided by the PWB/UNIX ∗ interactive operating system. We also have made extensive use of command procedures written in the UNIX “shell” language to perform the librarian and maintenance functions that are necessary to support the system.
