[Sigia-l] Re: Sitemapping and Macs

Yes, I agree the structures and resulting files are completely 
different, but for the sake of just the interface, Norpath is similar 
in UI to Visio. It has much more of a 'grid and templates' feel to it 
than Flash does. If I were not familiar with many applications other 
than Visio, I would find Norpath, and ConceptDraw, the easiest and 
most familiar to work with.
