Abstract
Tools to record the knowledge gained by maintainers engaged in understanding an existing program are described. These tools are based on a model of the comprehension process and of reverse engineering as a whole. They form a part of an integrated reverse engineering toolset based around a central repository. Using these tools new documentation for an existing software system may be built up incrementally by successive maintainers who work on the system
