You are correct to point out that I didn't make the relevance
obvious.  It has been a long time since I used the early
DOS versions of JANUS/Ada, but CORDER.EXE also identified dependencies
and verified that units were up to date with its own time stamp
mechanism.  One of its options was to then print out the names of
the obsolescent units.  Looking back, it was a nice tool to have with
a very low end of the market (pricewise) compiler.
