This is a summary of responses to my posting for request for info on C++ Browser. The orginal text of my posting was: >I am looking for a program browser for C++. Specifically I am looking for >a tool that will display inter-function relationships, function/variable >defintion and references, inheritance graphs, etc, etc. I would appreciate >your input if you know or have used such a tool. Please respond via email >with the name of the tool, supplier and person to contact. I will post a >summary if there is enough interest. > >Thanks in advance. > I would like to thank the following respondents who provided info: Ron Guilmette (rfg@ics.uci.edu) Reid Spencer (spencer@egypt.mpr.ca) Bill Hahn (bhahn@bogus.sw.stratus.com) Gordon Durand (gad@spatial.com) Greg Ching (owc-support@parcplace.com) I am still open for input for info on C++ program browsers.
