Since you are dealing with customers, don't scrimp. Go right to Visio. It
isn't that expensive and it is the most widespread and strongest application
for flowcharts. Anything less has less features and while you don't need
all the features it has, you'll find that you need at least some of them
that aren't in shareware charters.
Besides..some of your customers may be working at companies that don't allow
shareware or they may already have Visio and know how to use it.

Subject: Help: Flowchart Tool
Hi fellow-posters:
I am searching for a tool to conveniently draw flowcharts to be exchanged
between my customers and me. Although I know that M$ Office programs offer
some features, editing and modifying existing flowcharts is a major hassle.
Do you know of some inexpensive shareware tools to accomplish this.
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Frank
