Complicated software functions or modules are more easily understood by documenting them with a flowchart.

If you haven't already done so, first download the free trial version of RFFlow. It will allow you to open any chart and make modifications.

Once RFFlow is installed, you can open the above chart in RFFlow by clicking on software_flowchart.flo. From there you can zoom in, edit, and print this sample chart. It is often easier to modify an existing chart than to draw it from scratch.

To draw this chart without downloading it, run RFFlow and click on the More Shapes button. Scroll to the Flowcharting folder and click the plus sign to open it. Click the Basic Flowcharting stencil and then click the Add Stencil button.
