BOOCH diagram generators

BOOCH diagram generators

[Magnus Ericson]

My company is looking for a program that given a set of Ada source files
can produce a BOOCH style diagram of tasks, packages etc.
The program should preferably run on SPARC and produce Postsscipt output.
The applications we intend to use it on is not huge but neither is it
a "toy-system". This means that the product need to break the system 
into several diagrams and that it should be fairly "robust".

All suggestion are appreciated!

Regards
Magnus

We've had good experience with "ObjectMaker" from Mark V Systems.  It
runs on a Sparc.  I'm not sure how it prints, but we're able to get it
to print pretty pictures on a PostScript printer, so I'd assume it
uses PostScript.

Back in 1988, Intermetrics wrote the Ada COMPOSER as a STARS Foundation
Tool.  I believe you can still get it from ASSET (ASSET_A_235).  It even
ran on a PC-AT (although that must have been painful).  However,
according to its documentation:

    "E.4.4  Tek
     Composer utilizes an Ada/GKS (Graphical Kernel System) binding 
     for a Tektronix 4107 graphics terminal.  If the re-host involves
     targeting another graphics terminal, then this package must be 
     modified."

It would be nice to know if anyone has modified this program so that it
uses e.g. an X-Window interface.

Doesn't Rational's ROSE product do this sort of thing?
