You can get cscope (and a whole bunch of other things) on a CD-ROM called
"The Best of the Software Toolchest Volume 1" that AT&T sell. I've forgotten
the cost (in the order of a few hundred $ for a source license with rights to
use however you wish within your organisation, or something like that). It isn't
free software but cscope is extremely useful. We got ours from Unipress

Cscope, however, uses features of AT&T lex (redefines the input macro and makes
assumptions about the names and format of the input buffer stuff) and doesn't
build straight out of the box under FreeBSD - scanner.l needs to be fixed before
it will work correctly. If I get some time I'll fix scanner.l so it works correctly.
Send some mail if you want to discuss it.

BTW has anyone got a fix for make so it handles library dependencies correctly
in 2.1.5 (the only version I've played with)? They aren't working for me.
