        Does anyone know if there are any utilities that will build a 
hierarchy diagram of function calls in a program's source code?  The diagram 
should look like a Windows Explorer tree, with "void main(void)" (or whatever) 
at the top (level 0), and ever function called from main would be drawn as a 
node off main with a level of 1, and every function from those functions would 
be drawn as another node off those nodes, etc etc.
        This would be very similar to the old Object Browser built into the 
Borland C++ compilers of a few years ago, and similar to the class view in 
MSDev, the difference being that the view displays the CALLING of a function, 
not the container of the function.
        This seems like a really useful tool for tracing function calls to 
deeper and deeper levels, and I thought that there may be a tool like this 
already in existence  Anyone know of such a utility, or would anyone be 
willing to help me write it?
        More later as I get feedback as to the existence of such a utility.
