I've been using InfoModeler from Asymetrix the last few weeks on two separate projects. It uses an "object-role" metaphor as opposed to "entity-relationship" slant. So far, aside from a few conflicts with Dashboard, I've been very pleased. And, at $250 (from Egghead) it can't be beat. Received on Thu Jan 05 1995 - 01:51:51 CET
