Looks pretty good to me (yeah... it may not be nearly as cleanly
anti-aliased as Visio PS print-outs... but some of the Visio GIF output
files that I have done aren't very clean either).

There is also Kivio that provides a Visio clone for the KDE
window environment. I think it's development (or at least 'maintained')
by theKompany.com, and seems be okay. I don't know if it's to the
caliber of Dia (since I haven't used Dia... nor have I used Kivio for a
while). The URL to the Kivio site is:

Dunno... just my one cent. :)
