Diagram! broken by NS3.0?

Hi,

I don't recall anyone mentioning this but Diagram! does not launch under 3.0.   
It starts to but then disappears similar to Icon.app. So, I thought, that's  
okay. Karl Kraft did this funky hack to Icon and it worked. I tried it but no  
dice, Diagram just gets farther along before fading into oblivion.  I had to  
dig into the program file to even find the bug report address for them. ( If  
you have a bug report/comment item on a menu, how do you expect the user to  
use it when the menu never comes up? Put an address in the rtf online docs?  
Too easy! :-) ) 

The bottom line is: I need to generate a flow chart by Friday!!  Usually a 5  
minute job with Diagram! but now what do I do?  Any help is ( will be?)  
greatly appreciated.

As long as one being gets others to bow to him because he has the 
power to destroy them and all they have and all they love, then all
of us must be afraid together.

In Preferences, set your system and application fonts to "Helvetica Medium 12  
point" and your Bold system font to "Helvetica Bold 12 point" and Diagram!  
should work okay.  Simply put, using any other fonts than what 2.x used for any  
of the functions settable in Preferences 3.0 will make Diagram! crash.  The  
folks who made Diagram! addressed this publicly on the net a while back and  
they do realize it's a problem.
