Thanks for the responses:

We are presently considering the following options:

Use StateCad :	Good quality product, has verification, but only runs 
on PC (at the moment we are mainly running Unix, but that may soon
change), also has Licensing/distribution issues for our users (Capfast 
again!), who are not all within PSI.

Look for another tool, running on Unix and PC, perhaps supporting
1131-3 standard, ideally free-ware. Some of the case tools could be
suitable, but generally are seen as being rather complex to use. 

Build a tool: based on 1131-3 or OMT state diagrams.

We will probably spend a few days on the third option - to see if it is
feasible. We would prefer to have a tool that is very simple to use, 
will run on all platforms, does not have licensing restrictions, and can 
be easily customized or extended.
