Hullo Friends,
Has anyone dealt with flowcharting as
information-design tool?
Also, I am interested in obtaining a low-cost Unix and
Windows flowcharting software package that allows me
to save my charts in a popular image format--TIF, GIF,
and so on.
I consider flowcharting to be an excellent aid to
developing regular documentation. I also consider
essential for HTML, WinHelp, Hypertext
cross-referncing. Unfortunately I draw my flowcharts
by hand most of the time. Ideally I would like to
have a package that converts MIF or RTF files to
flowcharting items and vice versa.
