Description: The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) is an integrated set of software engineering tools developed at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). It is designed to support rapid prototyping of real-time systems. CAPS consists of four major subcomponents; the graphics/text editor, the user interface, the software database system, and the execution support system. Reports from users of CAPS, particularly novices, indicated that the clumsy and unintuitive multi windowed graphics/text editor present in the system hampered the use of the tool set. This thesis presents the substitution and integration of an efficient and user-friendly syntax directed editor into CAPS. The new syntax directed editor consists of a package of seven Ada95 parsers that recognize the elements of the Prototype System Description Language (PSDL) and an enhanced C.
