I'm so glad you pointed out the 'droopy' patchcord connector! It makes "hell
of difference," as my old design teacher, Mr. Tomasewski, used to say!
I don't want to sound like an ad for Visio, but I think this program can
∗really∗ be of use to us modular users for this kind of thing. It's very
fast and intuitive, once the stencil has been created.

Here's an image of a patch I created in Visio. Once I got around some
translation problems between Ken's and my versions of Visio, and once I
had
created some droopy patchcord objects, I knocked this picture out in
about 5
minutes. Best of all, as Ken has already mentioned, you can drag the
modules
around on the page and the patchcords stay connected!
