Nice application. However, I have some questions.

Am I correct in assuming this only works with the products "Rational Rose"
and "Visio?"

Can we also assume that most flow charts are not developed with these
products? They are probably simply drawn in a program like Illustrator or
MS-Publisher, or created from Excel.

BTW, I had never heard of Rational Rose. But somewhere in my closet, I have
an original (free) copy of Visio for Windows 3.1!
