You might want to check the "Software Re-engineering Web Home Page" which has a lot of useful information about tools, resources, etc, for reverse engineering. You can find it at:

    http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/brant/sre

Another useful site, associated with comp.software-eng and containing a wider selection of CASE tools is:

One tool I'd recommend you look at (since we make it) is Imagix 4D, a program understanding tool for C and C++ software.

What's unique about Imagix 4D -

• shows many aspects of software - control flow, data flow, build dependencies, class use (C++ only), test coverage, performance...
• allows easy focusing on pertinent data through knowledge-based exploration engine
• speeds comprehension through 3D graphic visualization
• automatically generates design documentation, including html
• is affordably priced
