In my # opinion, they look relatively decent compared to the old ASCII. # # http://people.freebsd.org/~chern/ipsec.html # # They look a bit crufty at the moment, I'm assuming because of eps2png. # I'm hoping Adam Stanislav's peps to see if it will have an improvement. Looks pretty good to me (yeah... it may not be nearly as cleanly anti-aliased as Visio PS print-outs... but some of the Visio GIF output files that I have done aren't very clean either). There is also Kivio that provides a Visio clone for the KDE window environment. I think it's development (or at least 'maintained') by theKompany.com, and seems be okay. I don't know if it's to the caliber of Dia (since I haven't used Dia... nor have I used Kivio for a while). The URL to the Kivio site is: http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/index.php3?dhtml_ok=1 Dunno... just my one cent. :) -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
