- PCX format is bit mapped. The only way to go is with object
- oriented packages, not neccessarily "flowchart" programs.

- I've tried only a few of the so called flowchart programs
- and have been disapointed with their usefulness. My
- major gripe is that most do not allow you to put much
- information on one piece of paper. They are not scalable.
-
- I found Draft Choice (not a flow chart program) works best
- for me. Its DOS based, so no fixed size fonts. Flowcharts
- can be infinitely scaled to fit A thru E size drafting paper.
- You can put a massive amount of info on one page and see
- it all at one glance. Great for looking at the big picture,
- and reorganizing stuff before you code a single line.
-
- Look for DC215E.ZIP on internet sites.
