Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code. It has an
impeccable Unix pedigree, having been originally
developed at Bell Labs back in the days of the PDP-11. Cscope was
part of the official AT&T Unix distribution for many years, and has been
used to manage projects involving 20 million lines of code!
In April, 2000, thanks to the Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) (since merged with Caldera), the code for Cscope was open sourced under the BSD license. |

Cscope support is built into Vim (so long
as it is compiled with the '--enable-cscope' option--this is the case for
most binary distributions). The Vim interface, and a set of key mappings
you may find useful, is documented in our Vim/Cscope Tutorial.
The Berkeley Vi editor (nvi) also works with cscope. | |
|
|
|
The XEmacs interface to cscope (which
also works with GNU
Emacs) is located in the subdirectory, cscope/contrib/xcscope/.
The source files contain all the installation and usage info you need to get started. (Please contact Darryl Okahata for any queries regarding the XEmacs support.) |

Cscope requires use of the (traditionally Unix-only) curses
screen-drawing library, so some form of curses support is needed to run
it on DOS or Windows.
Our download files include a zip file that contains a Cscope binary compiled with DJGPP (an open source compiler for DOS that has a fast native curses library). This binary should work on any version of Windows (3.1, 95, NT, 2000) or DOS. Note that it won't be able to see long filenames on NT4, and may show all kinds of strange bugs on 2000 and XP, which the DJGPP team is still working to resolve. Windows NT and 2000 users also have the option of running Cscope under the CygWin toolkit, which provides a curses emulation library (among other goodies). Once Cygwin are installed on your system, you can compile and run Cscope just as if you were on a normal operating system (i.e. Unix). |

If you experience problems with the latest release version, please try the latest top of tree code. If that doesn't work, please check our bug database, and add a new bug report if you don't see your problem listed. Latest release: 15.8a (previous versions available at same link) CVSROOT contents tarball updated at the end of each day (WARNING: is not very straightforward to use --- it's easier to just use anonymous CVS in most cases). |

Cbrowser is an excellent GUI front-end written by Chris Felaco. It is available for cscope, as well as cs. It is now available on sourceforge.net. It can be downloaded from http://cbrowser.sourceforge.net KScope is a great new GUI frontend for cscope based on the KDE environment. |
