Subject:Process Flow/Decision Tree web software From:"Nagai, Paul" <pnagai -at- VISA -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 19 Jul 1999 17:28:23 -0700
Me: A lazy application programmer.
You: A shrink wrapped Windows application for creating flow charts, decision
trees, and/or "box-diamond-exit" diagrams that are exportable to a series of
HTML files OR a Cold Fusion application designed for same.
In this application, I want to select whether a step is an action, a
decision, a loop back to a previous step, etc.; add some text describing
that step; specify how many steps per output page (in HTML); press a button;
and watch my HTML spit out the other end (or be database accessible via Cold
Fusion).
