	RECON4 is a free toolset to help Software Engineers in understanding and debugging computer programs. It is useful in software maintenance or enhancements, in reusing a program or a class library, and in general in any circumstance in which the Software Engineer needs to understand and make use of unfamiliar code.
RECON4 is a product of the: Distributed Systems Working Group Dennis Edwards, Sharon Simmons, Norman Wilde		Department of Computer Science University of West Florida Pensacola, Florida, USA

Some parts of RECON4 are still currently under development, but the key TraceGraph 4 tool for Software Reconnaissance is now available.
