Welcome to LXT - the LISP EXPLORATION TOOLS!
The LISP Function Tree Generator (LFT) is a powerful program
development, maintenance and documentation tool. It provides the
programmer the ability to analyse the LISP or SCHEME source code
of applications, no matter how big or complex they are. LFT is
very useful to explore new, unknown software and to support
software reuse and maintenance.
By scanning and analyzing the program source code, LFT builds an
internal representation of the function call hierarchy relations.
The analysis is done with the original source code, no additional
editing to mark functions or data types in the source code is
necessary. Several features and options allow the user to
customize the generated hierarchy tree chart output and to get a
large set of useful informations about the source code.
An important feature is the database generation which allows the
recalling of informations without reprocessing the source. This
database can again be read from LFT to produce different outputs
or to add new files to the database. The database format is dBASE
compatible. A special recall program called LFTN allows fast
searching for items in the database. This program can be used
within any environment, for example from inside editors like
BRIEF, QEDIT or MicroEMACS (DOS and WINDOWS version), to provide
a full software project management system with access to all
functions and data types with just a keystroke. This feature
makes a comfortable "hypertext source code browser and locator"
system out of the editor.
Another feature is the calculation of the critical function call
path. It is possible to generate formatted ASCII text files with
lists of the functions and the scanned files which can be used as
input for other programs like wordprocessors or spreadsheet
calculators.
This software package is provided either as a compressed
self-extracting archive file LXTnmm.EXE (LISP EXPLORATION TOOLS
version n.mm) or as a ZIPped archive file LXTnmm.ZIP and contains
the following files:
LFT.EXE The LISP Function Tree Generator
LFTN.EXE The LISP Function Tree Navigator
LXT.CM The BRIEF macro file
LXTKEYS.CM The BRIEF macro key definition file
LXTKEYS.CB The source code for the BRIEF key definition file
LXT_QEDT.DAT The QEDIT macro source code
LXT_ME.CMD The MicroEMACS macro source code
LFTIDE.BAT The Borland IDE transfer batch file for LFT
GNULISP.FCT The GNU EMACS builtin LISP functions
SXT.DOC The complete SXT documentation
INSTALL.DOC The installation instructions
PRODUCTS.DOC The SXT product overview
REGISTER.US The INTERNATIONAL registration informations

REGISTER.GER The GERMAN registration informations
NEWnmm.DOC The new features and changes for version n.mm
HISTORY.DOC The revision history
README.DOC The file that you are currently reading
Similar to the DOS version is the WINDOWS version available as a
compressed self-extracting archive file LXTWnmm.EXE (LISP
EXPLORATION TOOLS version n.mm for Windows) or as a ZIPped
archive file LXTWnmm.ZIP. The archive contains the same files as
listed above except that the file LFT.EXE is replaced by the
Windows version LFTWIN.EXE and the files SXTWIN.DOC and
NEWnmm.WIN have been added.
If you find any other than the above listed files, then you know
that this is not the official shareware distribution diskette
and/or archive. All documentation files are ASCII files and
should be printable on every printer.
For more informations about usage, hardware and software system
requirements, installation, trademarks, warranties, license and
registration details see the appropriate documentation,
especially SXT.DOC, INSTALL.DOC and REGISTER.US resp.
REGISTER.GER.
