TopDown is a tool specifically designed for org/flow charts. It's ok. For a more general purpose tool that will do what you want try Intellidraw. I've been using it and it does some cool stuff in terms of structured drawing. I like it better than the specialized charting programs. It's got some bugs and quirks, but nothing else comes close (short of a cad program like MiniCad). rick -- richard.frankel@amail.amdahl.com
