Re: Looking for Ada source browser

[Pierre Dissaux <pierre.dissaux@tni.fr>]

It is not free, but the Ada reverse engineering function of our HOOD
tool (Stood) seems to meet the requirements that are specified:
- works on PC and Sun
- may scan a large number of Ada packages in several directories
- provides full browsing capability thanks to the HOOD structured
textual descriptors (ODS).
- builds a cross-reference table and draws call trees etc...
