Abstract
The efficiency of program development can be improved by employing appropriate software tools. In this paper we discuss the compiler generator LEX-YACC and the GENTRAN module of the computer algebra (C. A.) system REDUCE. Their use is demonstrated for examples from physical chemistry. The LEX-YACC program, a UNIX tool, is employed to generate the user interface of a spectral analysis program. REDUCE is used to modify REDUCE subroutines in a symbolic manner. The resulting code is then translated into “C” code by the GENTRAN module and the resulting subroutine inserted into a numerical program.
