ABSTRACT

I have written an interactive software package that allows all SEP batch-oriented software to be used in an interactive manner, with no programming required of the end user. One can ``build'' a processing sequence, interactively modify the parameters for the various process, and see the result of each modification displayed on the workstation screen. The processing sequence and all associated parameters can be saved to a file so that the user can exit, then return at any time and pick up where he left off. With this environment it is much easier to experiment with different parameter values than in traditional batch processing. My software is written using XView, a freely-distributed X Windows toolkit developed by Sun Microsystems. Thus, like any X application, it can be ported to many machines.
