[TUHS] Re: Does anyone have any memories of using cscope that they care to share?

'Samuel' is Rob Pike's 'sam' with some additions, those being the ability to run 'cin' (C interpreter) on selected text, an 'advisor', which would print the data type definition of selected text, and the 'browser', which was an interface to cfront. Invoking 'browser' would fork a cscope process running in line-oriented mode, and on button 3 were the various search items that you will see in the normal cscope interface, somewhat abbreviated. So you could select a piece of text, a name of a function say, select 'calls to this function', and the results would be added to the button 3 menu; selecting one of these takes you to the file and line number in the cscope output. There is one further addition, 'smudge'. It allows you to put a mark on a place in a text file and assign an arbitrary name to it; these marks then appear on a cascaded button 3 menu---select a mark, return to that piece of text.
