Agreed.  GIMP wouldn't be the appropriate tool for a flowchart.  I  
was just building off of NZG's comment about GIMP.  I changed the  
subject to reflect the new thread.

So, has anyone here tried GimpShop?  I'm in the process of installing  
it on my Mac right now.  There's versions for Windows and Linux, too.
