INFANTS
is a software development tool for FORTRAN
programmers. It converts your source files into a set of
hyperlinked definitions and function calls -- input your
FORTRAN and it will all
seem simple again. Large software teams, or new members,
can easily navigate complex projects and rapidly gain a
deeper understanding of the software's structure and philosophy
than otherwise possible, even when formal documentation exists.
It works with F77,
F90, and F95 source code.
