I've seen, and played with JUST a LITTLE bit, Roykore's ABC
Flowcharter.  Its purpose in life is to create flowcharts, so
might do just what William is looking for.

I've also used Micrografx' Charisma.  This package is targeted
at business graphics, includes the capability to chart data,
includes an extensive clipart library (with more available for
additional bucks), and is quite impressive!  While it doesn't
specifically address flowcharting, it does include flow chart
symbols in the clipart, and has all the facilities you'd need.
