some free X program that contains (among other things) a C++ code browser
that can also generate a class hierarchy diagram from your code. i forgot
what else it contains. when i tried it on some modules we made at our
workplace, it created the class hierarchy with each class appearing twice,
so i dumped this tool (this was at least 6 month ago. maybe it's better
now).

now, if you're interested in C++ programming, there is some linux IDE
called code forge, at www.codeforge.com, that has a free more limited
version, and a commercial version costing 30$ a piece, and a newer version
that will cost 100$ a piece. it contains an editor, an interface to rcs
for multiple programmers, some odd source code browser, makefile
generator, diff tool, grep tool, etc. it lacks a debugger and would launch
an external debugger that you specify, but they say they intend to have
their own debugger in a later version.  generally, it's nice, thought its
project file lacks support for hierarchical projects (with internal nodes,
etc.), its diff tool is uglier then 'tkdiff', and i managed to step on an
rcs bug that caused it to stop working (don't mess with their lock/unlock
feature, they have a bug handling checked-out files you unlocked this
way).

in general, it's a good go in more or less the right direction. however,
it has one big drawback: it is not extensible by the user.
they do use a seperate shared library for each programming language
supported (for syntax highlighting and auto-indent mode, etc) but do not
publish the interface to that (for rather obvious commercial reasons).

they have snapshots on their home page (under the 'features' link), and
you download a binary version , in a ~3MB tar.gz file.

IMHO, it looks much better then xwpe, for example.
