Have you tried tcm? I don't think it will import Rational Rose models, but it is a proper modelling system. Also, I think you have to look in unstable for it at the moment. $ dpkg -s tcm Package: tcm Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 4280 Maintainer: Otavio Salvador <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 2.10-2 Depends: lesstif1, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), xlibs (>> 4.1.0) Conffiles: /etc/tcm/TCM f18e8650719aeab28ccef43c114faaa3 /etc/tcm/banner.ps d17b49a38f0c2fd06222f8ca9753a9e7 /etc/tcm/colorrgb.txt 6d52922bd9d2bac545055db0287a6f8d /etc/tcm/tcm.conf 3dfbb9a8d708f09516f079e482015dfe Description: Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling is a collection of software tools to present conceptual models of software systems in the form of diagrams, tables, trees, and the like. A conceptual model of a system is a structure used to represent the requirements or architecture of the system. TCM is meant to be used for specifying and maintaining requirements for desired systems, in which a number of techniques and heuristics for problem analysis, function refinement, behavior specification, and architecture specification are used. TCM takes the form of a suite of graphical editors that can be used in these design tasks. These editors can be categorized into: . * Generic editors for generic diagrams, generic tables and generic trees. * Structured Analysis (SA) editors for entity-relationship diagrams, data and event flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, function refinement trees, transaction-use tables and function-entity type tables. * Unified Modeling Language (UML) editors for static structure diagrams, use-case diagrams, activity diagrams, state charts, message sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, component diagrams and deployment diagrams (only the first three UML and last two editors are functional at this moment). * Miscellaneous editors such as for JSD (process structure and network diagrams), recursive process graphs and transaction decomposition tables. . TCM supports constraint checking for single documents (e.g. name duplication and cycles in is-a relationships). TCM distinguishes built-in constraints (of which a violation cannot even be attempted) from immediate constraints (of which an attempted violation is immediately prevented) and soft constraints (against which the editor provides a warning when it checks the drawing). TCM is planned to support hierarchic graphs, so that it can handle for example hierarchic statecharts. Features to be added later include constraint checking across documents and executable models. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock University of Leicester phone: (+44) 116 252 3902 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
