I need to put togeter a lot of flowcharts for work. Ive given up in disgust with Pagemaker, Corel Draw, and Windows Paint. To meet the deadline I did them on MacDraw II, but since these will need to be revised later, my boss insists that I must redo them in a PC compatible format. I am looking for any software (shareware or commercial windows or dos). That can help me generate good looking flow charts. A basic drawing program wood be nice, but a flow chart specific program is a possibility too. What exists out there? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance, William Moss

I use EASYFLOW by Haven Tree Software quite often. I find it to be excellent. It doesn't do logi checking, but it does a nice job of making sure your flowchart makes sensible paths by only allowing correct connections. I reccomend it highly, as I understand it is inexpensive.

What would you recommend? I've seen, and played with JUST a LITTLE bit, Roykore's ABC Flowcharter. Its purpose in life is to create flowcharts, so might do just what William is looking for. I've also used Micrografx' Charisma. This package is targeted at business graphics, includes the capability to chart data, includes an extensive clipart library (with more available for additional bucks), and is quite impressive! While it doesn't specifically address flowcharting, it does include flow chart symbols in the clipart, and has all the facilities you'd need. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :

What would you recommend? I'm very biased, but since you asked, look into our new program ROBOCHART. It's completely mouse-driven and much easier to use than other charting programs because you can manipulate the chart directly on the screen, instead of using awkward commands. The PC version is only $96. Send me e-mail or call for information: Digital Insight PO Box 2095 Evergreen, CO 80439 (303) 674-5232 -- "How am I typing? Call 1-303-279-1300" Jack C.
