The Chimera Prototyping Tool (CPT) is an experimental implementation of the Chimera data model and language. It has been designed and implemented by the IDEA team at the University of Bonn during 1995 and the first months of 1996 as a prototype system, aimed at rapid and experimental development of Chimera testcases rather than at industrial-strength development of large and complex applications. It comes with a Command Interface (CPT/CI) and a Graphical User Interface (CPT/GUI) which focus on data manipulation and schema design respectively.
The CPT is running on Sun Workstations under SunOS Versions 4 and 5. It is made available in its Prolog and Tcl/Tk source code form, and thus, the Prolog system ECLiPSe in its version 3.5.2, as well as Tcl version 7.4 and Tk version 4.0 are required.
