 As is, I downloaded the demo and will give it a try. If it 
does what it
 says, the price is reasonable, and as Brian said, it has 
that  classic
 flowchart feel/look...

 The viso comment was from my experience with Visio years ago 
(mid 90s).
 Maybe it's gotten better, but once upon a time, clunker would have

 Thanks for the info and link.

Ok, I have only used it since 2002 version and it was not too bad, I
used SmartDraw 3/4 before that (new versions speak 'MS Visio@ I believe)
it was basic, but amazingly easy to use but we needed some office/ms
project integration and Visio fitted the bill best, warts and all.

http://www.smartdraw.com/enterprise/visio.htm is interesting reading

S2F looks pretty cool up front.
Have you used S2F, and if so, what are your impressions with its
efficacy for reverse engineering code? Is it really any good at the
task? How much has to be manually cleaned up after app performs its
conversion from code to ?
Does it work with lower-level languages, ie, machine code and related?

To create software flowcharts, to date I've been using P99SE
schematic capture.  Sheet symbols basically were the functions 
entering the symbols revealed the sub-layer flowchart.  Obviously,
these schematics did nothing electrical.
Now I'm working on one of my largest software projects to date,

schematic capture for my flowchart, or, is there a better

Personally I do much software, my skills in that area kinda suck to be honest. 

But I have seen the reports from it and I managed to follow them, so it seems to do a 
decent enough
job in the end but any caveats on how to get to that I cannot answer. The job it was 
used on was an
embedded project and although mainly done in C it does have quite a bit of inline asm 
as well. 

But I guess the tool could not possibly be able to guess how every engineeer codes 
their own
applications and I would further guess it may fall over a little on asm stuff inline 
which is
processor specific.

Sorry cannot clarify much more
