Abstract
In this thesis, synthesis of COBOL programs is discussed. The programs are generated with the aid of an interactive Natural Language dialogue. Reasons for and against the use of English as a general programming aid are discussed, also the use of English in program synthesis is discussed. The major portion of this thesis describes the design of the system known as CLIVE. The discussion illustrates the relative ease in which COBOL programs can be generated by using ordinary English responses.
