Hi Chris, (03)
No sorry, I don't really know of such a package. There are simple
scripts for
seeing superclass and superslot hierarchies in KM and in CycL as well
as all of the
(inhereted too) slots that apply to a given class but that is about
it. I also have
quick keystrokes for printing the date or date and time (which can be
handy to
have in comments). (04)
