- Kaetron Software specializes in this kind of programs. TopDown is the elder
- brother. It is targeted towards flowcharting and is very good at it. The
- younger brother OrgChart, as its name indicates, is more directed towards
- organizational charts. It is very sophisticated and remarkably user-
- friendly.
-
- If you are interested in flowchart, TopDown is your guy. If you are into
- really powerusing and are building and modifying large hierarchies,
- OrgChart fits the description.
-
- On the down side, neither is free/shareware.
