Apparently, there is code to release; everyone knows you flowchart after
you program and because it is a course requirement, not because the things
are useful compared to real engineering tools like structure diagrams,
state transition tables, operation precedence lists, simulation models, and
the resulting profiling data. I'd be happier with meaningful function names
and the output of cxref (which I can run myself, thank you).
The two places I have seen flow charts in the real world were to sell IBM
flowcharting forms (like printer spacing charts, except they couldn't
serve a useful purpose in a second life as 1:1.5 scale graph paper) and in
the museum of science and industry.
