Previous RAPTOR Versions

SUMMER 2009 VERSION (Updated 14 July 2009)

You can get the Summer 2009 version (4.0) of RAPTOR from here (right-click and choose "save target as").  NOTE: requires .NET 2.0 Framework and also may fail because of a bug in the Microsoft.Ink DLL.  Files generated in this version (except those in OO mode) can be opened with the Summer 2007 version.

NEW FEATURES: Added object-oriented mode.  Fixed minor threading and RAPTORGraph issues.

microsoft.ink bug box

If it crashes right away with a bug box that has "microsoft.ink" in it, then install the Ink SDK http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/5/77577462-db2a-41c1-8630-26b611eaf1d7/setup.exe.  RAPTOR should then run successfully (you shouldn't need to uninstall/reinstall RAPTOR (more info at http://blogs.technet.com/tabletpc/archive/2005/11/15/microsoft-ink-dll-and-clr-that-ships-in-vs-net-2005-part-2.aspx).  Even if your bug box doesn't look like this one, almost every email I receive where RAPTOR crashes on opening is solved by installing the Ink SDK.

SUMMER 2008 VERSION-- posted 24 June 2008 (24 May version was missing code generators)

You can get the Summer 2008 version (3.9) of RAPTOR from here (right-click and choose "save target as").  NOTE: requires .NET 2.0 Framework and also may fail because of a bug in the Microsoft.Ink DLL.  Files generated in this version can be opened with the Summer 2007 version.

NEW FEATURES: Works on Vista 64 bit.  RAPTORGraph entirely rewritten in managed code.  Can use back end of tablet pen as ink eraser.  Prints symbol count when flowchart complete.

SUMMER 2007 VERSION

The Summer 2007 version (3.8) of RAPTOR is no longer distributed.  Please use the Summer 2008 version.  NOTE: requires .NET 2.0 Framework and also may fail because of a bug in the Microsoft.Ink DLL (fix available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900722) -- files generated in the this version can NOT be opened with the Fall 2006 version.  This version will open files from the previous version, but once they are saved, they will no longer be able to be read by the Fall 2006 version.

NEW FEATURES in version 3.7:  Use tablet "ink" to annotate flowcharts.  Arrays can now contain strings as well as numbers.  Input from tab-separated files now supported.
