Hi Niall

I looked at Dia last year for my Modelling On The Cheap presentation.  I 
thought it was dreadful - dire in fact - but that was on Windows.  I have been 
using it recently on Linux and it's a lot better.  I don't whether that 
improvement is due to OS or OSS.  Still not as good as Visio though.

Ooops, I skimmed through the stack of messages this morning and picked up 
precisely the wrong message.  Insert sheepish grin of my own here.

Cheers, APC

What? You mean that tool I'd already downloaded and hadn't installed yet
(insert smiley for sheepish grin here).

So far it looks like dia is a likely candidate. Recall I asked for something
that would do physical servers and logical application design rather than
primarily an ERD tool. So ERD is nice, but isn't for example going to draw
out for me how my DataGuard DR setup will interact either logically or
physically with the existing MSCS/Oracle Failsafe HA setup!
