+CScout is a source code analyzer and refactoring browser for collections
+of C programs.  It can process workspaces of multiple projects (we define
+a project as a collection of C source files that are linked together)
+mapping the complexity introduced by the C preprocessor back into
+the original C source code files.  CScout takes advantage of modern
+hardware advances (fast processors and large memory capacities) to
+analyze C source code beyond the level of detail and accuracy provided
+by  current compilers and linkers.  The analysis CScout performs takes
+into account the identifier scopes introduced by the C preprocessor and
+the C language proper scopes and namespaces.  CScout has already been
+applied on projects of tens of thousands of lines, like the apache web
+server (using 320MB of (virtual) memory, taking 40 minutes on a 500MHz
+Celeron processor with 128MB of RAM).
+
+This free unsupported version of CScout is distributed under the terms
+of the CScout Public License, which is available in the accompanying
+documentation.
