Thanks! Dia seems like a good choice. Quite simple and lightweight. Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With texmacs, you can typeset the documents (just like latex) and it comes with its own diagram drawing tools. If you have some greek symbols, superscripts, subscripts in your diagram, then I am pretty sure you will be much more better off with texmacs than dia, xfig. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Suggestions for diagramming software
hierarchy input output charts and no extra software for diagramming not necessary. To support that, interface specifications at the top of each module containing corresponding tags used in hierarchy input output charts. I find data flow diagrams too visual and their symbols don't come out well on typewriters.

I used it extensively when I was writing papers and slides in LaTeX. The commandline tools that go along with it (particularly fig2dev and pstoedit) make it very easy to import existing diagrams (in any format you can print to postscript, though you won't get much advantage out of doing that with raster files) into it and export diagrams from it into any format. Add the PStricks LaTeX package and you can really do some impressive stuff with it.

I've used it for a variety of projects. Plus you can export the finished work as a PDF. The openclipart-openoffice.org package has some additional graphics to use in Draw, plus you can just point Draw to include any directory/file - this is what I switched to from dia a while back for diagramming complex server/network configurations. Simple integration to Impress and export to html or pdf for public viewing clinched it for me.

Re: Suggestions for diagramming software
You're right. I just installed Xfig and played around it for a bit. Quite a powerful app. Thanks for the tip! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're going the direction of pstricks, I'd suggest considering pgf instead. It's not quite as mature or featureful, but it works when you need to output to PDF (good for doing presentations with latex-beamer, for instance).
