Announce: Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) Version 2.20 (Henk van de Zandschulp)

Announcing: Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling - TCM Version 2.20
=========================================================================
The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) is a collection of graphical
editors for different software specification methods.
TCM contains:
- generic editors (for generic diagrams, tables and trees),
- editors for UML (static-structure diagrams, use-case diagrams, activity
diagrams, collaboration diagram, statechart diagrams,
component diagrams and deployment diagrams)
- editors for Structured Analysis (entity-relationship diagrams,
data and event flow diagrams, state-transition diagrams,
function refinement trees etc.)
TCM supports various levels of constraint checking for single documents.
Features to be added later include constraint checking across documents
and executable models.
In addition to the TCM file format, TCM outputs Plain PostScript,
Encapsulated PostScript, PNG and the XFig file format. The TCM file format
is simple to read and parse so other forms of output can be generated
easily.
Changes in version 2.20:
========================
- The generic shape facility added, enabling new hierarchic diagrams.
- New UML editors added: TCBD (collaboration diagrams)
TSCD (statechart diagrams).
- Model checking added to TATD (optional).
- Fixes for gcc 3 compatibility. It now compiles and runs
under BSD (FreeBSD/Mac OS X/Darwin), and Windows (Cygwin/XFree86).
- BCE (Boundary Control Entity) icons added to TGD.

All editors share a common Motif user interface. Instead of Motif you can
use the GPL Motif-clone Lesstif or Open Motif (preferably).
TCM is available as source code or as binaries (RPMs and tarballs) for
various Unix and Linux platforms with X Windows and even for Windows,
running the CYGWIN/XFree86 environment.
TCM is distributed under the GNU Public License.
