This page shows all the documentation available for the ETAC system.
SPECIAL DOCUMENT: The following document contains a new innovation for representing software, especially computer
application programs, as schematic diagrams specifically designed for that purpose. The diagrams are called “data control diagrams”
(DCD). A data control diagram can be used to design, maintain, and enhance any computer program. A DCD is not a software tool, but it can succinctly
represent a complex program as a diagram, reducing the amount of design and maintenance errors. See
Data Control Diagram Samples for some images of DCDs. View or download the PDF file
DataControlModel.pdf for the full definition of a data
control diagram.
