Visual Modeler in VS 6?

Yes Visual Modeler is a cut down version of Rational Rose. However, I actually found it more usable than Rational Rose Modeling tools can be great for doing some analysis and design work, but do not get sucked into the idea of building apps by modelling and then using code gen to write the code. It is a pipe dream.

And the claim that you speed up the modifications of legacy apps using these tools to me is a joke If you are only maintaining legacy apps why do you care about modelling tools anyway? Are you considering trying to reverse engineer the code into a model to try and understand the structure. If so I wouldn't bother.

You will probably get more understanding in less time with pencil and paper If you really want a modelling tool that is easy to use and will not break the bank, look at Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
