Conveniently, nvi supports it directly and there's now a port of kscope, a KDE-based graphical interface to cscope, in the queue (ports/65863, hint hint) waiting to be committed. I'm currently working on a multilayer IPsec thing (in Linux, argh!) and couldn't have lived without the capabilities of cscope to help me understand the existing code. I was _very_ happy when it became open-source. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
