Comments on the output format, both textual and graphical: Textual is fine. Graphical I had some trouble getting it to print out on as large as I wanted it to. Description of any bugs / errors found: I found none but honestly only spent about 45 minutes total on evaluating it. Additional comments, criticisms, suggestions, or information which will help us improve this product: Specific things to look at: Can you get the program to run ? check Is the man page helpful / readable / complete ? check Do you understand the command line switches ? check Is Perl installed on your system ? check Does it complain ? nope Can you generate a graphical output file ? check ghostview should display it, does it? check If so, ** Is it correct (as far as you understand it ) ? ** check ** Will a postscript capable printer print it ?? ** check (We're particularly concerned with these issues) Does the graphical output make sense to you ? check Can you find any errors in the output which we haven't caught? My testing entailed running it on all the sendmail source (8.8.3). I only counted numbers for a 1 file since the sendmail source averaged around 90 lines per c source file. The one I counted was correct for lines the directives started on, lines inbetween directives, etc. Suggestions/Criticisms: I don't know if it is a feature of lp or not but when I printed out the postscript output at -g16 the output had blank pages inbetween every page of flow chart. At the top of the graphed page were numbers. For example: (0,1), (0,2), (1,2) etc. Seemed weird. It would be nice if you had your install script ask where I wanted to install the program and then install everything needed to run it into that directory and add the directory to my PATH (man page installation also). This is feature creeping but if you have time it would be a nicety. And of course an 'uninstall' script to scrub everything to 'before cca' status. Another feature for your install script would be to find out where perl is for you and insert the path automagically. Good work gentlemen. Happy graduation?
