I've seen a program named CALLTREE that can give you a list of: a) what line on 
a source module a function starts, b) which function calls which one and c) 
what functions get called from where. If I remember correctly, this came with 
Microsoft C5 and Macro Assembler 5.x. Also, there has been a similar program 
called CDOC.
