HypeKWIC generates software documentation from source code. The
documentation takes the form of a hyper-linked KeyWord In Context (KWIC)
document which can be viewed in a standard web browser. HyperKWIC can
be used with source code written in any language, including Fortran, C,
C++, Java, Delphi etc., and can be configured for comments, reserved
words, case-sensitivity etc. You can interact with sample reports for
large Fortran and C programs at
https://polyhedronsolutions.com/hyperkwic_files/AERMOD/_hyperkwic.htm
and
https://polyhedronsolutions.com/hyperkwic_files/netcdf-4.4.1.1/_hyperkwic.htm

HyperKWIC is free for non-commercial use including evaluation. See
www.hyperkwic.com.

Doxygen is free and open source and so it is unclear why you wrote that
strange thing. Better erase it and write something that aids or
simplifies with usage of Doxygen. I can't tell what could make it
more trivial but judging by your work you have better fantasy than me.

I remember we had to do KWIC in COBOL at university. 1986. It was on a
Burroughs mainframe.

Argh.

Cheers!,

Not in 1986. Probably a 900-series (B2900/B3900/B4900/B5900/B6900/B7900)
or maybe a V-series.

It's unclear to me, but he *may* have created something that's
orthogonal to Doxygen and yet useful.

I thought that I did understand what he created. I was expressing
impression that Doxygen provides more sophisticated context to
more varied kinds of keywords than his work.

I made something similar at end of eighties but it was more
like "key phrase in context" and it processed scientific articles
about sea biology, not source code.
