    Hi All,

    I'm using Cincom's flavor of Smalltalk (VisualWorks 7 at the moment). I'm looking for a documentation generator akin to Doxygen. I have found some old (as in older than 10 years) posts on how to leverage VisualWorks to dump some of the class
    structure into a text format.

    I've also heard of the Advance2 module which I will explore shortly.

    In the meanwhile, is there anything more recent available? Does anyone know if Cincom's ObjectStudio can provide this?

    Cheers,
    John

    I did just spend an hour playing with Advance2 and it does create some blocks and connections between classes and their parents/children. This does seem to be a bit labor intensive for large codes though and the resulting output can be a bit difficult
    to read.
