Another option, probably closer to the indexing approach, would be to
make the source code directory accessible via Apache/iX and run the
freeware ht://dig search engine (also available for MPE/iX) against
those pages.

You could then browse the sources as well as perform keyword searches.

Oops, one potential gotcha... Apache and ht://dig come from Posix land
and thus prefer bytestream over FA or VA record files. However, COBOL,
for example, happily compiles bytestream files as well (a colleague of
mine used to write her COBOL project with Samba and PFE in the past).

Oh, by the way, yet another approach might be to try RedHat Source
Navigator on Windows or Linux and have it index/cross-ref your source
code via Samba/iX share. I have used this cute tool a while ago when
working on my "Samba 2.0.7 cleanroom port" and I must say, it was very
helpful to browse/explore/view those "foreign" sources to get an idea
who calls what, and so on. The syntax coloring for C, Java, etc is also
a very handy feature.
