There's a review of "Software Through Pictures" in the July 1989 issue
of Computer Language.  Basically, the reviewer was very impressed with
it, however "much work remains to support the latter stages of the
life cycle.  Specifically, code generation and prototyping facilities
are weak, and [it] lacks reverse-engineering capacity and
configuration management capabilities."

Computer Language has been covering the CASE area pretty well, and
Warren Keuffel (the reviewer) will be reviewing more CASE tools in the
future and you can talk to him on the CLMForum of CompuServe.
