Techniques for displaying an intermediate level of detail in a computer system. The techniques are employed in a system for discovering information about a large body of software. The system displays representations of up to 40,000 lines of code in a single window. Included in the techniques for displaying the intermediate level of detail are the use of color and shape to indicate characteristics of lines, the linking of all of the lines which share a certain characteristic, and selection at the levels of the line, the characteristic, and the file. The software information system further includes one or more code viewers for simultaneously displaying selected lines of code. A cursor may be attached to or detached from a single one of the code viewers.
