Take a look at the sites http://www.codebydesign.com/ - http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemarchitect I've just found it the other day, it's open source, but I couldn't find any documentation, unfortunately. It seems to be very intuitive, but I got stuck trying to reverse engineer a database and didn't try it any further. But for the price you pay it sure is worth looking at :-)

IBObjects would be my choice for DAC, but as I know zip of paradox conversion (I started with FB from scratch) I can't be of much help with this item.
