: Another point just came to me. Do you really need diagrams (other than
: ER)? Perhaps you could pull the code out the database as text and
: manipulate that into a nice document that tells the story of the
: system??? I personally find diagrams to be time consuming (again other
: than ER which can be reverse engineered easily enough). A high level
: big picture diagram is often appropriate of course.

along these lines, when 'reverse-documenting' code, i often find a simple outlining tool (like headline-style outlining in MS-Word) useful to document the structue of the code -- especially code that has a large number or nested IF-THEN-ELSE constructs
