This sounds to me that this should be part of an analyse and design document.. I dont see any pareticular problem to have tools to do it: from vi to whater office_like stuffs.

Most of the companies i worked for, even if using unices as dev platform and target platform, uses office/word/visio/rationnalRose for the design support environement and citrix client to access those ressources..
