            ***********************************************
            Now available for OS/2 and MS Windows platforms
            ***********************************************

ZMech in an interative state machine development tool. It is an example
of a visual tool built using IPAD. For those of you that dont know what
a state machine is, think of it as a way of defining what happens when
a certain set of events occure.

It allows highly complex state machines to be:

    *   interactively described through a state diagram.

    *   translated into a form suitable for direct execution by an
        embedded micro controller or other event driven system
        (such as a GUI system).

    *   interactivly debugged by running it against a state diagram.

ZMech is currently available for Linux 2.0.x (Intel), Solaris 2.5 (SPARC),
OS/2 WARP, NT 3.51, Win 95, Win 3.1 and MSDOS.
