no-one has followed this up, but this is potentially VERY USEFUL:
our basic current problem is shortage of programmer time
-- eg i would try to do little bits of coding
if it weren't so daunting just getting started -- ,
so a tool which provided a picture of the structure of Lynx
should really help the whole lynx-dev effort.

 2  queries: (1) for LD: could you make available the full listings
you have provided above + the  4  i have quoted from your other message?
you could simply e-mail them to me or maybe to lynx-dev
or put them up in an ftp directory or whatever seems best;
maybe other lynx-devers could comment on that.

(2) for UNIXites: is there anything like SCA for UNIX ?
