COMMERCIAL: ZMech 0.3.01 - Extendable CASE tool
ZMech is a visual CASE tool that allows complex event driven systems to
be interactivly designed and debugged using the state machine paradigm.
It has been built using the multiplatform IPAD-Pro core and consequently
is completly configuarable and extendable (the XEBOT package and various
animated demos available from the same site show, how this can easily be
done).
Out of the box the demo version of ZMech allows highly complex systems
to be:
* interactively described through state diagrams.
* translated into a form suitable for direct execution by an
embedded micro controller or other event driven system
(such as a GUI system).
* code generated and then combined with user written C / C++
and assembler source
* interactivly debugged by running the compiled generated code
against the original state diagrams.
* split into seperate state machines and debugged concurrently
allowing development of libraries of frequently used
components and distributed multiprocessor designs
ZMech, XEBOT and IPAD are currently available for Linux 2.0.x (Intel),
Solaris 2.5 (SPARC), OS/2, MS Windows (NT, 95, 98 and 3.1) and MSDOS.
ZMech can be obtained from:

Animated demos showing user / GUI interaction, state machine traces
and dialog building can be obtained from:

(BEWARE: some demos seem to run slowly when viewed using
some versions of Internet Explorer)
