hierarchy chart (flowchart) software suggestions
Dia is just a diagram making tool. It has symbols for uml, flowcharts, electronic circuits I think, etc. It's not like rational rose or other sophysticated uml tools that take uml and produce code, etc. It's not a plug in to uml tools. It's like umlpad but better I think.

A diagram making tool is all I need. If I can make boxes with text inside of them that link together, that's all I need. It's too bad Dia crashed on me (without saving my work) as it was the most appropriate application I tried so far.
Right now I am trying Visual Paradigm, but it is very complicated. Hopefully I can figure it out, as I think it does pretty much everything anyone would need!

You may want to look into (using UML terms):
Class Diagrams (as a hierarchy chart...you can specify functions in these)
and
Activity Diagrams (as a "flowchart")
I missed this part of your post until just now. This is where I am at in Visual Paradigm... right at the beginning trying to decide which diagram to start making. Thanks again!
Today I made some state charts with Dia and had no crashes. One interesting thing is that the UML state chart symbols don't align to the grid properly. The universal symbols do however. But even with this problem Dia worked fine for my needs. I had to set my desktop font to true type font for it to not hickup all the time. Same problem with gimp for windows. I use dia ver. 0.94.
