NAME
     iclass - class browser

SYNOPSIS
     iclass [-r] [-v] path [path...]
DESCRIPTION
     Iclass is a simple class  browser  that  lets  you  navigate
     through  C++  class hierarchies and view the definition of a
     particular  class.   You  can  select  classes  from   three
     browsers:  the  first shows a list of all known classes; the
     second shows the parents of the selected class, if any;  and
     the  third shows the children of the selected class, if any.
     You can choose a name from  any  of  these  lists  and  tell
     iclass to show the definition of that class, or you can type
     the name of a class explicitly in the  StringEditor  labeled
     ``selected  class.''  The view of the class definition shows
     the source code  from  the  header  file  that  defines  the
     selected class.

COMMANDS
     Iclass provides pull-down menus for issuing  commands.   The
     ``File'' menu includes the following commands:

     Scan Files/Directories...
         Prompt for additional pathnames to scan.

     Quit
         Close the window and exit.

     Commands in the ``Search'' menu include:

     Forward Search...
          Search forward in the class definition for a match with
