Actually, the term `identifier' is too +limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any +form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Database +queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs, +serving as an augmented tags facility. + +`mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@gnu.ai.mit.edu> +and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then +maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the +Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>. Tom released +`mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991. Since then, Greg McGary +has resumed maintenance and is releasing an improved version 3 under GPL. + +Version 3 is an interim release. Version 4 will follow in the coming +months and include a cscope clone plus other improvements. |
