Programming environments support the creation, maintenance, execution, and deployment of programs. The development of complex application systems written in APL has always been hampered by the lack of a comprehensive programming environment for the language. This paper presents a new approach to software creation and management through the use of LOGOS, an integrated software development environment for APL. LOGOS provides support to the user, developer, and manager of application systems. Its centralized, uniform structure removes much of the drudgery of dealing with software, encourages sharing of ideas and programs among users, and leads to increased programmer productivity and improved software reliability.
