License manager update

This update prevents the dmlgr: err 3 messages you may see on your license server, which can eventually result in an incorrect report of "all licenses in use." Shift-click on the appropriate link to download the update, make sure the file is set executable, then install it in place of the existing dlmgr executable in the appropriate binary subdirectory (not the dlmgr script generated in the top-level installation directory):

Robochart for Sparc Update: 2.1c (Motif) and 8.1c (OPEN LOOK)

Now available from our Download page, this FREE minor upgrade includes: See the Release Notes for details. Your 2.1 or 8.1 license will still work with this new version, and diagram and configuration files are fully compatible.

If you're still using Robochart version 2.0/8.0, here's what you're missing:

Web development support - image exporting and automatic HTML generation. Convert hierarchical diagrams into linked web documents.

A ToolTalk interface, allowing remote control of Robochart from external software! Use attractive, easy-to-draw Robochart diagrams as a friendly interface to your own programs. Load, Save, Print diagram files; create, modify, delete objects and flows. How about a network diagram that pops up on your System Administrator's screen with a disk drive icon in red, telling her that disk is almost full? How about a workflow diagram automatically updated to show the current history of a form, and letting you send the form to its next destination with a click on the diagram? What do you want your diagram to do today?

Many other new features, including better feedback while editing, special label characters, template diagrams, and on-screen curved flows.

See the 8.1 release notes for details. If you have a previous version of Robochart and no support contract, you can upgrade to the current version for $300 per site.
