I agree. ADM was a nice piece of software. It has saved me countless hours
over the years. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. V5R2 is the last
release it's available on.

The only alternatives seem to be Hawkeye, Abstract-Probe, and Docu-mint.

opinion, provided a decent feature set at a reasonable price.
