Tips for code reading !
I have a large base of code to play with written in two programming languages [C++,OTCL], it is not well documented and I have to modify parts and add new modules. I found that reading the code is the best practice [the mailing list= many questions+very very few answers].

Do you have any tips for making my reading more effective ? 

+Habits

+Editors

+plugins

+languages specific hacks ?

+anything I don't know
