Is there a program similar to ctags for lisp? If someone has
such a program for Berkeley 4.2, I would appreciate receiving
a copy or some pointers to one.
Thanks in advance

I use awk to scan for lines starting '(def...', ignoring case. Each line generates a tag for the second argument, which is usually the function being defined. Of course, there are all sorts of writing styles that can break this, and it also picks up things like '(defprop ...', which you may or may not want. The tags file tells vi to search backwards in a poor-man's attempt to find the last definition for things are multiply defined. This has worked well enough for me that I haven't felt the need for anything better, although it is really quick and dirty. #!/bin/csh # make a tags file for lisp source files. # usage: # lisptags file [ file ... ] # generate the file 'tags' # awk '/^\([dD][eE][fF]/ {print $2 " " FILENAME " ?^" $0 "$?"}' $* | sort > tags -- Ted Hopp {seismo,umcp-cs}!nbs-amrf!hopp

Lest this keep coming up, let me mention that Ken Arnold's ctags program which has been reposted to the net recently, also handles Lisp source files. It isn't perfect, but it does much better than any of the awk scripts that I have seen. Tom
