The environment supports a wide range of tools which can help you to develop and maintain Common Lisp source code more quickly and efficiently. This section gives you a brief introduction to the most important ones. You can create any of the tools described here by choosing the appropriate command from the Tools menu of the podium window, or by selecting the relevant tool from the Works > Tools menu on any other tool.
For full details about any of these tools, see the relevant chapter. The second part of this manual covers each of the tools in the order that they are found on the Tools menu of the podium.
