Application Executive
     
         (AE) An {embeddable language}, written as a {C}
        {interpreter} by Brian Bliss at UIUC.  AE is compiled with an
        {application} and thus exists in the same process and address
        space.  It includes a {dbx} {symbol table} scanner to access
        compiled variables and routines, or you can enter them
        manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address.
        When the {interpreter} is invoked, {source code} fragments are
        read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and
        evaluated immediately.  The user can call compiled functions
        in addition to a few {built-in} intrinsics, declare new data
        types and data objects, etc.  Different input streams can be
        evaluated in parallel on {Alliant} computers.
     
        AE has been ported to {SunOS} (cc or {gcc}), {Alliant FX} and
        {Cray YMP} (soon).
