'
I have seen this package and it''s very jazzy.'
'
Marty': Can you (have you) contact Chris and see if he is desirous of us distributing this as a LispUsers package (I think we should, but I''m open to counters).'
'
LispSupport': Could you make sure we have a copy in house at Palo Alto and that it is in *our* <Lispusers> (maybe even in Full).'
'
Herb': You should look at this for inclusion in the new demo or for AAAI.'

	Christopher Lane has been so kind as to package his GRAPHCALLS system'
for general consumption and release to the LISPUSERS community.'
	GRAPHCALLS is a general utility which uses grapher to create a'
browser which depicts the calling structure of a subsystem.  Menus'
select the form and depth of the graph.  Another menu selects a filter'
or set of filters to prune the graph.  Buttoning a node allows a user'
to inspect (1) the argument list of a function, (2) the type of a'
function, (3) the ccode for a function, or (4) the localvars,'
freevars, and globalvars of a function.  Additionally, one can break'
the function, trace it, edit it, do a WHEREIS on it, BKSYSBUF it'
into the typing stream, or graph it to a still deeper level.'
	GRAPHCALLS uses the linker information returned by CALLS'
rather than a masterscope database, so it is much faster than the latter.'
	GRAPHCALLS is filed in [SUMEX] or [CSLI] '
<LISPUSERS.FUGUE6>GRCALLS.DCOM, MSS, IMP, & PRESS.  There is a Fugue 4'
GRCALLS.DCOM in <LISPUSERS.FUGUE4>GRCALLS.DCOM.  Questions about'
distribution should be addressed to me rather than to Christopher.'
