I made a rather trivial modification to the InterViews iclass program to have
it dump out the data it obtains on the class hierarchy.  That is, idraw, which
is freely available from Stanford University, takes a set of directories as
arguments and scans through them looking for class definitions.  It places this
information in its own data structures so one can browse through them easily.
You could modify this program yourself to do whatever you want to do with the
class information it obtains.
