In the '80s I was working on a (never released) system I called FlowPro, but EGA adapters and 8088 processors weren't really capable of the kind of DnD I wanted. The idea was that flow-charts would be turned into code, with some meta data added if you wanted specific variable names etc. (instead of the words used in the diagram's box).
Then in the early-to-mid '90s, I came across a product called Prograph that ran on both Windows (I did a lot of programming for WFW with it) and Mac (OS 8 I believe). I loved that system, and realized it solved some of the syntax issues I had using flow-charts, but it still never really took off. The concept lives on with the Marten IDE though I'm not sure how many people are actively using it.
