Semiautomatic Software Documentation Generator(SSDG) extracts some design information of a software and interface information of each function in the software from existing source progrms by using mechanical parsing. The importance of software documentation is appreciated. For the most cases of software development contracts, the software documentation is required as a major part of supply goods. On the other hand, the real world programmers are driven by irrational dead-lines and kept busy with coding and debugging. SSDG is developped with hope to mitigate the documentation burden of programmers. We choose the C programming language for the target language for programs from which informations extracted, because the C language is the most frequently used language in our environment. But this choice is arbitrary and our method is able to applied for any other languages. SSDG tenders three stages to prepare software documentation. First is to define forms used in the documentation. Second is to extract specification information from existing source programs and prepare document file. And the third is to merge these files and print them.
