Abstract
An interpreter for OBJ3 implemented in Common LISP has been designed using the language OBJ. This formal design is both an effective support of the programming task and a means of communication between different programmers and designers. In the light of this experiment, we propose some extensions to the language and also give a reflexive version of the interpreter.
