The Brown University environment has a browser that is very nice.
It shows graphically the relationships between the classes.
Its available via ftp from Brown at [128.148.32.66].
Be sure the copy the files that have the instructions and restrictions
on copying their files, for you will have to get a password from
Brown to get their Field environment, which includes cbrowse, the
browser.

Brown has a very nice development environment.  While cbrowse is nice,
I like the Objective-C browser better.  The Objective-C browser is
a Smalltalk-like browser that allows you to browser CODE, not just
header files (like iclass) or recreated header information (like
cbrowse).  The Objective-C borwser, however, does not show graphical
relationships (not important to me, seeing the organization of the
classes textually is sufficient) or does not edit the code in the current
release of it (it also doesn't work on C++ code, which is either
good or bad depennding on your point of view ;-}).
