Bjorn/Ross, I tried some time ago to put together an extended UML for UniVerse, but did not get any buy-in for it. The difficulty is that, for a new system, you can use UML and remain within the restrictions it presents, but for mapping an existing system it does not provide for e.g. Q-Pointers, select lists, file types, multilevel data files, files accessed using other dictionaries, files accessed from other accounts, sequential files and all of the other ideosyncracies of mv databases.
We have a product called uvAudit that presents some of this graphically, though it is primarily aimed at impact analysis (object code analysis, file access, dictionary links etc). rather than as a documentation tool. There may be other mv-specific tools that can do this. But I think you will find UML a little too restrictive. On a positive, you might be able to import into Visio. I know it takes delimited input files and generates charts from that, so you may be able to write something that will generate a suitable output format from UniVerse.
