Interesting, no. Fond memories, absolutely. On SPARC

of ram, cscope was pretty essential if you wanted to get anything done.
I used it a ton, made me way more productive.
That aspect of the culture remained and carried on to the descendents of Sun.
cscope is still very much used in the illumos project. In fact, I used
it yesterday (though not for illumos).

Wikipedia has a brief page on cscope, which has a link to
https://cscope.sourceforge.net/history.html
written by Harold Bamford, in which he talks about the
early days of cscope at Bell Labs and its inventor Joe Steffan.
I wondered if anyone can add any interesting information about using
cscope on their projects or anything about its development.
