by hand..
I'm looking for suitable software to examine the Flex code and give me a
map of the flow that I could then turn into a more human readable form.
probably doesn't exist.
It's not all that hard to follow by hand. There's really only a few key
modules that determine the overall flow (winmain/main, sdr, update), at
least for the DSP. the rest are all essentially little utility routines
that move something from one place in memory to another.
What would be real useful would be a tool that can track data structures
and where they get touched (especially with indirect references and
pointers, this can be quite tricky)
(quoting from Brooks: "Show me your tables")
As for the rest (i.e. the console code)...
Thanks

Many of the references in Nichol's paper are also quite interesting.
