I am looking for a flowcharting program that will allow me to design
my code top down:

1. Start with a very high level (functional) flowchart consisting of a
few functional modules. For example, (a) Start, (b) User Logon, (c)
Load Data, (d) Select Test, (e) Administer Test, (f) Logoff. (g) Exit.

2. Each of the "modules" (shapes) would be identified as having a
lower level or not. If they have a lower level, the program would
generate an "open link" to another flowchart, probably on another
page, having that name.

3. Until the lower level routine is written, the link would be
"unresolved" and a list of unresolved links could be generated to
identify work remaining to be done.

4. When the lower level routine is written and linked, both the parent
and the child would show page references and become hyperlinks.

This could continue for as many levels as needed until the modules
become actual lines of code or close to it.

Does anything like this exist?

Thanks
