EasyCASE Plus is a commercial CASE tool that is no longer in
publication. It runs as a DOS application under Windows. I paid
full retail price for it when it was one of
the best tools available in the late 1980's. Since it is no
longer being sold I feel that I can give it to students to use for
educational purposes only as long as they agree to remove it from
their computer when they are finished with their studies.
