I am looking for a graphical editor for CCITT's Functional Specification and Description Language (SDL) that runs in UNIX/X-windows (Sun or HP) or in the Macintosh environments. I am particularly interested in an SDL editor that would allow customization of the graphical views and generates SDL/text representation. I am also interested in any experience you may have in applying such a tool. Please email me your responses and I'll summarize.

It operates on APOLLO, SUN and HP platforms (I am taking this from their literature since the version I saw ran on a VAXstation). I have the following addresses for VERILOG: VERILOG S.A. 150, rue Nicolas-Vauquelin 31081 TOULOUSE CEDEX Tel: (33) 61-40-38-88 VERILOG USA Beauregard Square 6303 Little River Turnpike Alexandria, VA 22312 Tel: (703)-354-0371 They also have a product called ASA which does specification modeling and an excellent test tool called LOGISCOPE (when I looked into these tools, I considered LOGISCOPE to be the best test tool on the market at the time). > I am particularly interested in an SDL editor that would allow > customization of the graphical views and generates SDL/text > representation. I believe that the SDL/text representation is produced but I am not sure about customization. The demo I saw was a year and a half ago so you may want to ask them to send you a product description to see if your requirements will be met. > I am also interested in any experience you may have in applying such a > tool. We opted not to buy GEODE in favor of Excelerator RTS since SDL was not requirement for our work. The product I was most interested in was LOGISCOPE which I would recommend to anyone looking for a test tool independant of whether SDL is used (it operated on C language source).
