Fellow BB'er's. I'm looking for a utility which does the opposite to the "Rational Rose" tool.

I need to give it a project (couple of C src/hdrs/makefiles) and get it to give me a control flow diagram/design spec or something similar.

(Rational Rose takes a design-spec from you and generates appropriate C/C++ code).

Some background so you see where I'm coming from: the objective to to port an RPC server project from the mainframe to a local POSIX environment.

However, major headaches are caused by the fact that whoever wrote it did neither of (a) create Design Docs, (b) comment their code[1]. This is causing a lot of hassle since the code is quite complex. There's no option to throw it back at them either (boy would I enjoy that).

Anyone got any ideas?
