So you do think as a consultant in order to face them.   IP Logged puzzlecracker Senior Riddler Men have become the tools of their tools     Gender: Posts: 319 Re: Microsoft   « Reply #1 on: Nov 6th, 2004, 9:43pm » Quote Modify what "cases"? what  is that?

You can download the standard at the UML Home Page. I do not know of any online resources because I learned it the old fashioned way, but I am sure Google could help.
