Who wrote cxref, When and Why?
The cxref program was written by Andrew M. Bishop (amb@gedanken.demon.co.uk) in 1995-2004 and maintained since then. There is a cxref home-page on the World Wide Web, available via the author’s home-page at http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/ . This is kept updated with news about the program, as new versions become available. An earlier program by the same author using basically the same comment convention was written in Emacs Lisp in 1994. This version was slow, the amount of cross referencing was poor and the output was only in troff format. The current C program was written to replace this but has grown to become much better in the cross referencing that is done and the format of the output has increased greatly. The cxref program can be freely distributed according to the terms of the GNU General Public License (see the file `COPYING’).
