Flowcharts...

In my opinion, freakishly useful. When properly presented, allows one to
take a macroscopic view of an entire system. Visualization is a science
in
itself.

I had instructors in college who wanted us to flowchart during design. I
found them pretty useless from the perspective of designing the code
(psuedo code is great, though). Anything simple enough to flow chart
didn't need one, and anything complex enough to require the flow chart got
too unweildy too quickly.

However, for explaining the code after the fact to someone else, I find
flowcharts invaluable. So, IMO, as a design tool, I personally don't care
for flow charting. However, as a teaching tool, I give them two thumbs
up.

Oh, and on the DPA vs MLW thing, it appears to me DPA was simply trying to
get clarification as to whether MLW actually ran the code on his robot or
not. I thought you took that completely the wrong way, MLW. Lighten up.
