SEELA: maintenance and documenting by reverse-engineering

Abstract

Summary form only given. An interactive reverse-engineering tool, SEELA, supports the maintenance and documentation of structured programs. It features a top-down program display that increases the readability of structured programs and it includes a structure editor, browser, pretty printer, and source code document generator. SEELA works with Ada, Cobol C, Pascal, PL/M, and Fortran code. SEELA was designed to bridge the gap between a project's design description and source code. Instead of requiring a separate program-design-language (PDL) description, it analyzes the source code and projects it on the screen so that it appears as a readable PDL code.<>
