   From what I gather, there is no supported way to do this in    CASE 5.0. I have heard about some scripts out there which    basically take each table and make it an entity and then take each    column and make it an attribute. There needs to be some more    smarts in these though to put all of the foreign keys in their place    etc. I'd like to see this as well. Let you know if I come across    anything.
