I've done some additional matching and colour coding.
Btw here is how the raw data was generated...
�� |classes|
�� outfile := (FileStream newFileNamed: '/tmp/NB-hierarchy3') lineEndConvention: #lf.
�� classes := Smalltalk allClasses select: [ :c | (c name beginsWith: 'NB') ].
�� classes addAll: (classes flatCollect: [ :c | c allSuperclasses ]) asSet asOrderedCollection.
�� Object printSubclassesOn: outfile level: 1 filter: classes.
�� outfile close.

I needed to add printSubclassesOn:level:filter: ��
