The trick isn't creating charts, or pretty ones.  The trick is to
create a flowchart from BASIC which shows Calls and Includes (one
kind of report), or files and fields used (another kind of
report).  You can take it further and trace Exceutes, procs,
paragraphs, etc.  All of those report types are data-centric and
it's a real challenge to create a generic utility that can derive
that sort of metadata from any given MV application.  Once you
have the data you can render it with any tools you wish.  Doing
the charting is the easy part.  :)

I believe Brian Leach has something for doing MV-oriented flow
charting as described above.
