1. Visustin v2.0 - flowchart with VB, Visio, T-SQL, PL/SQL, Perl, Ada

Visustin v2 reverse engineers source code to flow charts. New features
include multi-procedure visualization, Visio 2002 export, save as HTML,
Print Preview and support for T-SQL, PL/SQL, Ada and Perl.

Visustin creates an automatic flow chart layout by reading source code.
It also works with VB, VB.NET, VBA, C/C++, C#, Java, JavaScript,
Pascal/Delphi and COBOL. The diagrams can be printed or published as Web
pages. 

Microsoft Visio 2002 users can generate flow diagrams with Visustin and
edit them with Visio. You can also import the diagrams in a word
processor for project documentation.
