Be careful with ERwin/ERX.  We have been using it for diagramming the changes
that the programmers have been making to the database.  If they add/delete a FK,
the import will not pick it up.  In other words, existing diagrams will not
reflect relationship changes between tables.  Logicworks confirms this.  So, I
am going to be looking at S-Designer, based on a couple of earlier messages, to
see if it will pick up relationship (?) changes from the database and propagate
them to the model.

Version info: ERwin/ERX for Powerbuilder v2.0;  Informix 6.0.
