(under subclass 701) Subject matter wherein a program or high-level development tool facilitates creation of the list of human-readable instruction data in a programming language.
(1) Note. This subclass is for tools which are used to facilitate software development and may include recitation and processes involving the use of s:graphical user interfaces, "visual" development environments and flow charts. However, general purpose operator interfaces,
s:graphical user interfaces (GUI), or other s:graphical displays are classified elsewhere.
(2) Note. The source code generating programs or tools classified here may generate source code directly without using s:graphics, for example, by use of a specification. However, program generation tools utilizing a specification directed to the physics of materials or interactions of constituent parts of a physical process, such as, in the field of simulating chemical, electrical, or mechanical processes for the purpose of design and analysis are classified elsewhere.
