Abstract
Chunk structure has been previously proposed (E. Towster, 1979), as a program design technique to support the stepwise refinement of data structures in parallel with program development. Both the definition of chunk structure and its required support induce new naming structures. The author reports on an initial implementation of chunk structure and describes the basic mechanisms necessary to manage the name space of a program written in a language supporting such a feature. The evaluation of the technique is discussed in the context of design languages.<>
