- Many thanks to the overwhelming response from the USENET community. What has
- been conveyed is the following:
-
- 1) 'cscope' comes from the AT&T Toolchest and is believed to be
- separately purchaseable
-
- 2) 'truss' is another SysV program, and is also believed to be part
- of the Toolchest.
-
- Many thanks again to all that have responded. Also special thanks to:
-
- Todd Eigenschink (eigenstr@CS.Rose-Hulman.Edu) for suggesting I look at
- wuarchive.wustl.edu. for information.
