Thanks are entended to Barbara Beeton for pointing out this package (announced on the TEX-NL list) to me. It is very handy for including flow charts in LaTeX documents, and (while I have no knowledge of precisely what a Nassi-Schneidermann disgram is) generates NS diagrams using essentially the same syntax. It is very well documented. Below is the description file for this package. Regards, George NASSFLOW -------- NASSFLOW is a package of 8 files which includes style options and documentation for use to create and include either Nassi-Schneidermann diagrams or flow charts in a LaTeX document. The package is authored by Kees Lindhout and Marion van Geest, Center for the Automation of Weapon and Command Systems, Royal Netherlands Navy. Both NS-diagrams and flow charts in this context are described in macros resembling a pseudo code. The diagram itself is defined as a structure and is built from statements. Macros are available for all standard programming statements (if, while, action, etc.). Support for the Language Sensitive Editor for LaTeX, LSA, is extensible to work with these macros. To retrive the full set of files associated with NASSFLOW, please include the command: SENDME NASSFLOW in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only need a specific file, say NASSFLOW.ADD_LSE, please include the command: SENDME NASSFLOW.ADD_LSE in the body of a mail message ot FILESERV.
