Case tool

Someone posted this link to a Case tool:
http://www.ccas.ru/~gurov/ftp/Editors/CASE/Vinsent/

Unfortunately it's in Russian, which I know nothing about, and it
doesn't seem to have been worked upon since 1997.

I don't know the strength of this tool, as I can't understand the
description, but can this be the best OSS-contender with no work being
done for two years?

I have contacted with author and it says he just don't have time
and he'd like to pass development to somebody. As I understand most
thing works ok but needs to be synchronized with new version of
TCL/TK, postgres and python. I didn't see any free CASE TOOL like
Vinsent which supports postgres.

******* Translation begin ***********
The current version allows for:1 draw tables. including  - restoring previous state  - copying to the local application
buffer - pasting from the buffer  - editing the table field types  - and also some more stuff
 
2 link fields (constraints)  - FOREIGN KEY  |--> PRIMARY KEY
3 generate SQL file from the given structure  - for Postgres95 (w/out constrains)  - for Informix ( with constraints)
4 there is a request broker using protocol independent of DB 1 for Informix (tested with HP-UX and Informix 7.20) 2 for
PostgreSQL5 generates a visual DB repsentation from a DB.   (except references (takes time))
 

Plans:3 create new DBs through the broker and fill them with tables4 alter existing tables through broker5 generate GCI
scriptaccording to the struture6 ctreate additional SQL generators for other DBMS7 fix the interface

Please no questions to me and no "curtesy copies".
