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 information about the source code.
An important feature is the database generation which allows the
recalling of information 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. The windows version provides an
additionally DLL for database access.
The generation of output files compatible with HTML viewers like
NCSA Mosaic, Netscape or WinWord Internet Assistant is possible.
Also RTF output files which can be compiled for Windows Help and
output for the Rational Rose CASE tool is possible.
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. The Windows
versions are named LXTWnmm.EXE (LISP EXPLORATION TOOLS version
n.mm for Windows) or LXTWnmm.ZIP.
