TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You might consider using UML (Unified Modeling Language). It is a modeling
standard that is quickly gaining traction in the software development world.
Daigrams created to UML standards _should_ be intuitive enough for people
with little UML knowledge to understand, and those with UML knowledge will
greatly appreciate your use of it.
Do a search for UML and VB. There are many UML tools available, many have
trial versions, some have free limited feature versions.
