Is there a ctags equivalent for MicroEmacs? In VI you can press ^] when on a procedure name and, if you have a 'ctags' file in the current directory, then VI will jump to the place where the procedure is defined, even if the definition is in another file. I guess this is really a two part question. Has someone either modified MicroEmacs or written a macro that implements the 'jump to procedure definition' function. For the function to be useful their would need to some program similar to ctags to generate the list of procedure names and where they are defined. -- Preston L.

I've just started writing such a function for ME 3.8. I've gotten GNUctags working on my MSC 5.0 MSDOS system and have written a version of "look." The next tasks are to write and debug the "goto-tag" function and generate a make target for extracting more than just procedure names (by following a fixed coding convention and judiciously applying sed and sort, you can get global variables, structs, unions, etc. into the tags file). I'll let you know when I getting it all working. -- Robert Reed, Tektronix CAE Systems Division, bobr@zeus.TEK
