Re: Need advice on reverse engineering Ada program.

Ok as you are not as impressed by 20,000 lines of code, I could for
your guidance.  I have been given this task, yet I am a new programmer
right out of college, so I have no idea how to take on this task.  I
started doing a flow chart but this might take half of forever.  If I
am to do a functional analysis what is the best way to approach this?
Thanks,
Brian
