As to flow charts/data flow diagrams, you may wish to ask NCTD if they
still have some of the diagrams they have produced for me over the
years. However, when it comes to producing these diagrams, it is
mainly necessary to find an alternative format in which to express
them (i.e, use of tables and improvisation with the lecturers
concerned). This is due to inaccessability in the production software
as opposed to the VI users understanding of the diagrams.
I have studied IT/computer studies both at GNVQ advanced level and am
about to finish degree level. Contact me if you have any more
questions.
Andrew.
