- `mkid' README
-
- `mkid' is a simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent
- identifier database tool. Actually, the term `identifier' is too
- limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any
- form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Database
- queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs,
- serving as an augmented tags facility.
-
- `mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
- and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then
- maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the
- Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>. Tom released
- `mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991. Since then, Greg McGary
- has resumed maintenance and is releasing an improved version 3 under GPL.
-
- Version 3 is an interim release. Version 4 will follow in the coming
- months and include a cscope clone plus other improvements.
-
- See file `COPYING' for copying conditions.
- See file `INSTALL' for compilation and installation instructions.
- See file `NEWS' for a list of major changes in the current release.
- See file `THANKS' for a list of contributors.
- See file `TODO' for planned enhancements.
-
- Mail suggestions and bug reports for these programs to
- <bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu>.
-
- Please describe bugs completely: your input, what you expected, what you
- got, and why it is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but please include a
- description of the problem as well, since this is sometimes difficult to
- infer.
