Things sure have changed. Since those early days two differentcomputerized flow charting programs entered my life but seemed to be difficultto master or provide a rapid means of developing charts. Now comes ABCFlowCharter.

Purpose: Micrografx'sABC FlowCharter is a program for diagramming, modeling, analyzing, andauditing many personal and business processes. With the analysis toolsyou can create flowcharts for modeling existing processes, graphicallyportray present job flows, and facilitate improvement through cause - effectdiagrams. The inclusion of the ABC disk drive, and a pointing device. The extra space requirementsare due to the increased shapes (read graphics) and fonts available withversion 6.0.

Test Platform: The equipment used to test this programconsisted of a Dell 486DX66 w/40MB RAM with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1, astandard mouse, SVGA monitor, and 93 MB of free hard disk space. Due tocurrent equipment limitations the test was only conducted for version 4.0.However, the install portions of both versions were tested.

Installation Process:

The complete installation process took from 10 to 12 minutes per version.Initially, Version 4.0 was installed using the CD-ROM under the Windows3.1 Program Manager File directory. After typing 'a:ABCINSTALL' in theRun area the process resembled many normal installation start proceduresused on most computers. Also opted to load the 30-day trial versions ofthe Designer 4.1 and Picture Publisher 5.0 programs. Removed the programusing a utility program, then reinstalled Version 4.0 using the packaged3.5-floppies under the Windows 3.1 by typing 'a:INSTALL' in the 'Run'box.

Each process resembled the normal installation start procedures usedfor installing most popular programs. Each installation process startedwith a search through the directories to discover if certain other programswere located on the hard disk. In my case, this search resulted in inquiriesas to whether or not it was desirable to install program links betweenABC FlowChart and my Microsoft Office applications. For version 6.0 separatesteps were needed to install the FONTS to the same drive where Windowsis located. This is required even if ABC FlowCharter is located on a differentdrive.

Let The Test Begin:

A few minutes after putting the guide aside the first chart was openedand symbols were placed here and there with lines connecting various figures.Two aborted charts later the line drawing figure was figured out and anAlamo PC program review flowchart started to take shape (no pun intended).Designing this simple flowchart required only 10 of the more than 400 availableshapes and 3 (audit, networks, and organization) of the 26 available palettes.

The ABC font collection consisted of 245 different styles - - from AdLib BT to Zurich Ultra Black. Even after many self-induced mistakes, theflowchart was completed, amended, edited, and printed within a few hours.Future endeavors will see drastic reductions in the time spent going froma mental picture to a finished chart. Considering this first endeavor,a little practice switching between the multiple shapes, fonts, connections,and embroidery should reduce the initiation to completion time while improvingthe end product results.

The program operates within a drag and drop environment so mouse userswill have an advantage of keyboard attics. The strong mix of ready to usetools not only provides for simple use but will also lead to more creativeand effective diagrams. This program also grabbed data from an Excel programand provide a good graphical display of item relationships.

Positives:

ABC FlowCharter is designed for use by the artistically challanged (suchas myself) up to the business professional. The ease by which a newbiecan dive into this package and come up with passable charts is definitelya plus. Someone with little to no flowcharting experience could glean enoughknowledge from the User's Guide to design a useable, practical product.Each segment of the guide provides the reasons for having that area inthis program. Many segments of the book and help menu explanations weretutorial in nature. Another nice thing for us world travelers was thatABC FlowCharter 6 supports double-byte character sets so it can use iton non-English character sets.

Limitations:

For me, the main limitation was the lack of a 'Uninstall ABC FlowCharter'program. You have to rely on an outside utility if you want to effectivelyremove ABC FlowCharter from your hard disk. Although it did not cause meany problems this time other program removals have resulted in leavingmy machine with peripheral problems. Could not locate an email addressfor problem resolution or additional information. However, did locate anABC FlowCharter's User Group, www.carros.com.

Warning:

Abc Flowcharter 4.0 free download. software

The box should carry this warning --Program Sampling May Be Contagious.With just a little exposure you may find the program growing on you. Someoff-the-wall uses that have run through my mind were to create flowcharts/diagramsfor video recording, web browser reviews, setting up computer peripherals,packing for trips, etc.

Availability/Price:

There was no suggested retail price with the package. However, a reviewof Micrografx's web site co-sponsor, Carros, lists the ABC FlowChartercost as $199 plus shipping and tax. Texas tax is 8.25 percent. Calls tolocal software shops revealed that CompUSA carried a version 6.0 upgradefor $99.95 and a 7.0 upgrade for $139.95. Best Buy carries ABC FlowCharterbut has not had any for over six months and did not have any price listed.None of the other retailers had ABC FlowCharter.
