: I don't know ABC Flowchart but I sure do know Visio. I previously tried : CorelFlow -- for about a week -- then bought Visio and stopped looking further.

[Quoted] 	Look at the review in PC Mag.

Flowchart is cheaper, particularly if you get the MGX Suite which has Designer and Picture Publisher, so you can span the gamut of drawings, image/picture processing, and charting. All generally more competent than Corel.
