- I Found that the only time we used flowcharts was on a large programmin
- project with many design team members. It was not rigidly enforced once
- coding got under way, but it did give us a general direction to go in.

- Usually I found that if we did a Flow chart it was after the fact. That
- way we knew how we actually had to make the program to get it to work the
- way we wanted. Designing a program and 'getting it to the metal' were
- sometimes two different things.
