Don't know how it would "make the database more understandable". It does make
the relationship between objects easy to identify. And that is the part of the 
tool
that I find indispensible. It is the only cross-reference tool that I trust 
100%. I've
used other tools including Documint and Abstract/Probe. They are OK, I just 
never
trusted them completely. Hawkeye has never let me down. I am using a change
management tool called Implementer. This tool interfaces to Hawkeye and
updates it whenever you promote objects. This saves me a trmendous amount
of time when I'm studying a proposed change and I need to see the impact that
it will have (files, pgms,etc).
