Don:
with what program(s) can you open these files: it won't open with Mind
Manager or Visio....

Hi 

Attached is my first cut at Cmaps with labels.  I'm not yet happy with the
verbs I used, but I wanted to get something to the group for comment.  The
busiest is the Service Interaction Concepts.  To me, at least, the labels
give more meaning and understanding to the figures.
If these appear to be of some use I can send the Cmap files, that is if
people are using Cmap. 

(Scurry, succry - sounds of d flinn hiding under his desk in anticipation of
an onslaught of flames :-)
