		Unlike traditional optimizers, whose designs tend to be ad hoc,

		generic in that it can perform a large number of different
		program analyses. Furthermore, the analyzer has an
		object-oriented design, enabling it to be adapted to different
		applications and allowing it to be used with various CLP 
		languages with simple modifications. As an example of this 
		generality, we sketch the use of the analyzer in two different
		applications involving two different CLP languages: an 
		optimizing compiler for CLP(${\cal R}$) programs and an 
		application for detecting occur-check problems in Prolog 
		programs.},
