Hi Michael, I've only used it for some _small_ programs, nothing major yet, although I know the program for several years by now. I like the idea behind CWEB, the pretty-printed output, the cross-reference, etc… and because I was a fervent TeX user before I found CWEB it was no trouble at all to learn it. IMO, the major drawback of CWEB is you need to change your way of thinking about a program. When you are coding you must think about the best code to write *and* _also_ think about the best way for explaining the code. The first programs I wrote in CWEB were impossible to grasp from the structure and explanation in the doc, at least not in the way the system is intended for. IOW: the code must be split up for best serving the documentation, not the "logical" code fragments and this poses a problem for "normal" programmers. Or maybe it's just me! 🙂 Do you use or intend to use CWEB? — Freddy
