sorry if this is a bit more off-topic than some of my other posts but I have a couple questions.
No prob, at least I can contribute to this one.
1) Does anybody have an old copy of Visio? I have access to a shrink-wrapped 5.0 upgrade so would like to try and find a legal previous version that I can upgrade to. Please contact me off-list of you can help out. Or anyone know if a demo copy would work for upgrading?
I have a licensed copy of Visio but not an older one as a giveaway. You might want to try round-again software -- it is around centre and 16 ave.
2) Any knows some good FLOSS apps that would essentially be the equivalent to Visio? Are the apps compatible with the Visio format and the visio add-ons (pictures of things...whatever they are called...sorry very tired.)?
Unaware of any FLOSS apps -- (I am assuming you are talking about the windows side of things). I also use a product called SmartDraw (can be found here http://www.smartdraw.com/). It does more than flow charting -- it also does floor plans, gantt charts, org charts, technical diagrams (electronic circuits), calendars, etc. Has a free trial and is around 200.
It also has rubber banding which comes in really handle when you need to optimize your layout of objects. Bonus - not Microsoft.
