Description:	Cdg reads a set of C-source files and generates a two-column listing of those sources where all lines are numbered. After the listing part comes a three-column cross-reference table which gives for each identifier a list of line-numbers where this identifier occurs in the source listing part. This format resembles the format that John Lions used in "Source Code and Commentary on UNIX level 6".
Conformance:	Should operate on all K&R and ANSI C programs. There are some restrictions on the placement of matching #ifdef, #else and #endif directives, or else the way an identifier is used may be incorrectly determined.
Features:	+ Non-C sources can be included in the output - Non-C sources will not be cross-referenced + Long lines are folded in the output and marked as such + Customizable footer for copyright or other messages + Cross reference list distinguishes definition versus use of an identifier + Possibility to exclude certain identifiers + Can save a list of all identifiers with linenumbers + Identifiers can be included or excluded from the cross- reference listing depending on their use + PostScript output can be generated for A4 or US Letter size paper, on the non-PostScript printers only A4 is supported.
Bugs:	None known (except the restriction mentioned under "conformance").
Restriction:	GNU conditions
Requires:	Unix, ANSI-C compiler (preferably gcc) (to build it), sort(1), PostScript printer, or HP DeskJet 500 or LaserJet printer, or GhostScript plus almost any popular printer.
Ports:	Linux
Portability:	Little experience at this time, should be quite portable.
