Abstract:
 	We describe a development environment we created for
 prototyping software for the Macintosh.  The programs are developed
 and executed on a large time-shared computer but can use the full
 facilities of the Macintosh.  By using this system, we combine the
 advantages of the large system, such as large amounts of disk storage
 and automatic file backups, with the advantages of the Macintosh, such
 as advanced graphics, mouse control and sound synthesis.  We also
 describe several projects that used the distributed development
 system.  We conclude with a description of our future plans for this
 environment.
