One of our potential future investors ask us for following: "We also wanted to see the high level algorithm diagrams". I have searched the Web a lot and have found a lot of types of diagrams. I will not list them here. I'm not sure that the definition "high level algorithm diagrams" exists at all. Any way, if you know it is - where I can find it on Web. The more general question. If one need to create (let us define it this way) high level algorithm diagrams - where to find types, descriptions and templates on Web. Thanks a lot. Valery
