I just installed Source Navigator and it's got RHAT logos in all the strategic locations, so I'm guessing that's the tool you're thinking of. There have been several speedbumps so I can't yet offer useful opinions about snavigator. For one thing, the machine I had to install it on is a Debian box that's running a slightly moldy 2.4 flavor with old libs and such, so the most current versions of snavigator wouldn't install straight out the package. The machine is also isolated from the Net so I can't use apt-get to fetch stuff anyway - I had to bring the snavigator source codes over via SneakerNet and build/install from scratch. Fortunately, that turned out to be relatively painless and all the basic plumbing seems to be operational. Now I'm trying to figure out how to whittle down the size of the "project" (ie. limit the set of files it wants to consider - this is one gigantic pile of source codes) so that snavigator doesn't crawl up its own butt trying to generate terabytes of meta-info in its various databases. I did have snavigator show me a few cross references and inheritance diagrams and so far it looks very promising. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
