A browser called OOBR comes bundled with the latest version of xemacs
(19.12). It transforms your emacs frame into 4 frames organized a la the
Smalltalk browser. It supports C++, Eiffel, and Info files and is fully
integrated into xemacs. It is easy to set up, start playing with, and
seems to be pretty quick. It may not be exactly what you want because it
is a browser that you can edit code in rather than an editor that supports
browsing; but you may want to check it out before embarking on your
project.


The xemacs web page is http://xemacs.cs.uiuc.edu/.
