-- I am trying net.micro.pc first. What other newsgroups would be
-- appropriate?
Does anyone have experience with or knowledge of computer aided Structrued
Analysis (DeMarco/Yourdon style) tools?
I have ordered an evaluation copy of PCSA produced by StructSoft, Inc. in
Parsippany NJ. I will be attending a demonstration of Excelerator from
Index Technology Corporation. I know that Tektronix has software, but it
runs only on Tek hardware. I don't know of any others which run on a
personal computer. I don't know of any which run on impersonnal computers.
My requirements are:
- Handles the Data Flow Diagram in a graphical form;
- Has a Data Dictionary;
- Flags unbalanced data flows, dictionary errors, etc.;
- Is easy to use (like the manual method);
- Does not cost an arm and a leg (max budget = $3K); and
- Runs on one of the following (the machines I have easy access to):
IBM AT or XT with Microsoft mouse
VAX 780 or 8600 with BSD 4.2 & VT-240
VAX 750 with VMS & VT-240
uVAX-II with VMS & VT-240
Stride 640 with Unix SVR(?2) & VT-240
It would be nice if it could evaluate a mini-spec too, but that may be asking
too much from some of these packages.
