Hello, this is Yamaguchi.

GLOBAL-1.8 is available at:

        http://wafu.netgate.net/tama/unix/indexe.html
                                               ~
                                               Please don't forget this 'e'.

What's New since 1.7:

o many BSD specific codes are removed.
o many bugs are fixed.
o -c (complete) option is added to global.
o -d tagdir option is added to htags.
o -w option is added to htags.

If you cannot get the file, please send me (shigio@wafu.netgate.net) E-mail.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLOBAL is a browsing system for C and Yacc source code. It brings benefits
to all hackers.

It supports following environments.

        o shell command line
        o vi editor
        o web browser (You can see the example on the above site.)

I think it is useful to hack a large project containing many subdirectories
like MH, X or BSD kernel.

[Features]

        o Global can find the locations of specified function quickly.
        o Global can locate not only function definitions but also
          function references
        o Global can treat a source tree containing subdirectories and
          you can get a relative path of object from anywhere within the tree.
        o Global allow duplicate entries.
        o Global can understand perl's regular expression.
        o Global can also locate functions in library paths if the function
          not found in your source directory.
        o Global can treat yacc file too.

Please enjoy.
