DESCRIPTION
Saber-C is an integrated programming environment for the C language. It consists of an incremental linker/loader, a C interpreter, a source-level debugger, and a program checker - all integrated into a single interactive environment. Saber-C is designed to reduce the time and effort involved in developing, testing, debugging and maintaining C programs. Saber-C’s integrated run-time environment promotes prototyping and modular programming. The interactive workspace allows users to experiment with any part of the C language, including arbitrary expressions, individual functions, and incomplete programs. Saber-C removes much of the difficult debugging involved in writing C programs by automating the detection of static and run-time errors. Using Saber-C is similar to using a C compiler and a debugger. Source code files or object code files are loaded into Saber-C and linked together with any appropriate libraries. Once a file is loaded, any variables, types, and functions defined by the file can be examined and used in the workspace. The command can be used to call with command-line arguments. Saber-C introduces interactive programming to the C language without requiring you to change the way you write programs. All source code, object code, and library files can be loaded into Saber-C without modification. Saber-C is also designed to work closely with the editors, compilers, preprocessors, and makefiles available on your computer system.

SABER-C AND WINDOWS
The Saber-C interface manager allows Saber-C to be used on a standard ascii terminal or on a bit-mapped console under the SunView windowing system or the X Window System. When Saber-C is run under a windowing system, it opens separate windows for the program’s input and output, for each edit job, for displaying manual pages, for graphical browsers, and for several other functions. To run Saber-C in the SunView environment, enter
