AML/X: a programming language for design and manufacturing

Abstract

AML/X is a modern general purpose high level programming language, aimed at applications in manufacturing and computer aided design. It includes features for both conventional and cPbject-oriented programming. The AML/X interpreter is implemented in C and has been ported to IBM 370, Motorola 68000, and IBM PC hardware, running under CMS, UNIX, XENIX, and DOS. This paper describes the rationale for AML/X and gives an overview of the language itself.
