Tony, take a look at graphviz. May be helpful and is free. I am not
saying this should be _the_ tool, just a helper library.
If you can describe the system problematically, this library can render it.
Here <http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php> are some graphs created from
basically text files of data. It could be re-rendered automaically on a
cron or something and published up to the company wiki or intranet.

I do not want to step on toes and attempt to create a solution
which duplicates one already provided by our esteemed colleague
Brian Leach. If mvScan is not available, or for some reason
doesn't suit specific needs, I will offer to try to put a
graphical front-end on someone's existing application parser. I
don't have the time to write that sort of detailed and fragile
back-end code but as I said earlier, the graphical part
(surprisingly?) shouldn't be that tough. (Famous last words...)
I make no apologies about the fact that my business survives when
we get paid for writing software, so anything I come up with will
be sold at some price balanced by both investement and demand.
(It's a helluva world when I actually feel a need to explain
something like that in a professional forum, but here we are.)
If you object in principle to paying for software then you can
either do this on your own or wait (a year? forever?) for someone
to do it for you for free, but please don't hold it against me
for attempting to offer supply for demand without losing my house
in the process.
So I invite people to check out Brian's mvScan. I invite Brian,
Norman, and John to contact me about collaboration toward a new
product with split revenues (thereby addressing the bottom line
issue which Norman's CEO mentions). And I invite anyone
interested in a graphical flowchart (and perhaps other
visualizations of their MV data) to contact me so that we have
some idea of whether it will be worth it to even do this.
Thanks for your time.

I would also love to use it. Brian has a program that
essentially does this, however in the economic times
we are in now my CEO told me "if it does not directly
translaye into improveing the bottom line I can not
authorize it".
If I get time in the next year I may write something
and release it, but don't hold your breath.

I am sure I'm not the only one interested. Please do
request permission to release it. John Israel said
he'd written one, but it must be internal to his
company, too. I can't find any reference to it, or to
Brian Leach's program on the internet. I would be
interested in seeing their software as well. Guys?
Knowing how snarled and convoluted some of our legacy
programs are, this would be extremely difficult
software to design and build, and I applaud those who
have done so.
