Interesting, but I agree that this flow chart is too complex to understand. Before importing this, how about refining the output in some way? Useful information we can get from this kind of chart is order and dependency. Off the top of my head, but I would say that roughly grouping the dependencies by uppercase scripts using the subgraph statement and placing nodes for the uppercase scripts in alignment with each other from top to bottom (forcing alignment is difficult in GraphViz though) would make something better. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Wed_Feb__8_12_09_34_2012_322)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk8x524ACgkQTyzT2CeTzy1k+wCgjd4+2txXDzUu9hRgIetIUv6Q vXQAoN9KSeezUPoB5gyEMk3XYV9nAnCo =jkzA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Wed_Feb__8_12_09_34_2012_322)----
