[comp.software-eng] Looking for software that performs minimization of Boolean functions

I am looking for software that performs the minimization of Boolean
functions.  e.g., I am looking for software that minimizes
x'yz + xy'z' + xyz + xyz' to, for example, yz + xz' via any reasonable
method.  The only methods that I am familiar with are the Karnaugh map
method and the tabulation method (only the latter of which is typically
implemented on a computer).  If there are better methods for Boolean
function minimization that anyone knows about please let me know even
if you don't know where I can get the software.

Thank You In Advance For Your Help,
