Welcome to DoorScope, the open-source DOORS and ReqIF viewer!
This is the official website of DoorScope. DoorScope is a software application which can be used in the specification review process. Specifications can be exported from IBM DOORS® and viewed with links, object attributes and change history (including tables, images and richtext). Objects can be annotated and marked with their review status. There is also a fulltext search and scripting facility. DoorScope is a single executable and runs natively on Windows without installation. The source code is available under GPL or - on request - under user-specific licences.
Note that DoorScope is now also able to read OMG ReqIF 1.1 format files!

Downloads
DoorScope is deployed as compressed single-file executables for Windows 9x/2k/XP/Vista/7. Download the ZIP/GZ file and uncompress it. The resulting executable can be run without any installations or administrator privileges.
Viewer:
Last stable release: DoorScope (current release)
Source code: GitHub
NOTE: in principle DoorScope would also run natively on Macintosh OS X and Linux, but this would require some additional test and adaptation effort; if you're interested send me an email; if there are enough people interested in Linux and OS X versions, the effort might be justified; or try it yourself; of course DoorScope perfectly runs with Wine or WineBottler on Linux or OS X.
Extractor:
Last stable release: DoorScopeETL 0.6.0
Source code: GitHub
The ZIP also includes the DXL script to be run from within DOORS. If you run the script in a module viewer then the current module is sent to DoorScopeETL. If you run the script in the DOORS explorer, all formal modules of the currently selected folder and its subfolders are transmitted. If DoorScopeETL is not running, or the port numbers do not correspond, you get an error. DoorScopeETL writes the modules to DSDX streams located in the selected output directory. These streams can then be deployed and imported in a DoorScope repository (DSDB).
