This is a tool that functions in a similar fashion as a 4GL except that it
generates COBOL code that is then compiled and becomes an actual program
that can be executed.  No interpreters needed once the code is compiled.
You write the code using shortcut commands/options which PROTOS expands
when you are ready to compile.

This is a product that, I believe, is a tool that provides configuration
management (version control) of your production files (jobs, programs,
etc.).  The list members will correct me or expand on this info.

>TRANSACT (HP3000)

This is HP's version of a 4GL and is/was part of the RAPID product line.
