To avoid downloading the Mac and Linux components and save a lot of bandwidth, use Free Download Manager's zip preview function http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1364

If you do not intend to create file associations, you can delete DocTypeReg.exe.

I use it (ver 0.95) for simple charts at home, its equals to Visio (for my needs..), its free, and its portable so I can always take it with me on my DOK. Recommended.

webfork on 2010-02-27 17:06

I tried really, really hard to make a go of this program to put together some flowcharts and so forth, but sadly its really not a replacement for Visio. Entering text into ojects and then and linking them (fairly simple stuff) is far too difficult and annoying. I hope the developers keep working on it and its gets to a more useful point.
