4329.0. "Yourdon + SSAD + DFD + Data Flow Diagrams" by VICE::JANZEN (Tom MLO21-4/E10 223-5140) Wed Dec 05 1990 14:19

	Hi
	Is there a public domain or maybe even a product for Amiga graphic
	analysis for structured/object-oriented analysis and design,
	such as Gane-Sarson or Yourdon analysis methodology, as in DECdesign?
	You know, arrows for moving data, boxes for stored data,
	bubbles for process, with layers top-down of increasing detail
	downwards?
Tom

So I'm not the only one! Hubba-hubba. I had contemplated getting one of the
available "object-oriented" (as opposed to "paint") drawing programs and doing
at least the diagrammatic portion that way; all balancing would then have to be
done manually, of course.

I haven't used DECdesign, myself; does it support anything like TeamWork's
"CDIF" format for import/export of SA/SD objects? If so, perhaps a "better than
nothing" solution would be to (a) use a relatively decent 2-D drawing package
to diagram offline; (b) write a translator from its file format to DECdesign's
import format, so that folks could diagram (or write DDEs) at home, then upload
for the "brute force" part.

Anybody in contact with PC-type CASE folks? As far as I'm concerned, the first
one with a decent port at a decent price has at least one immediate sale.
