I had previously mentioned in this group a project that I've been 
working on which was called "SMIL". It was/is to be an open source state 
machine/message passing tool that would allow a single system or 
multiple systems to be defined along with their interactions.

At the time I posted, in April I think. There wasn't much interest. It 
was suggested that I change the name because "SMIL" is already taken a a 
language name.

I subsequently changed the name to RPAIL.

I haven't done much on developing RPAIL recently because: 1. There 
wasn't a lot of interest, and 2. it's summer time in the northern 
hemisphere.

I would like to continue on with the project as time permits.

I have current information (not much!) at http://rpail.com
The main thing to see there is the current, incomplete, documentation:

Hi all,

I was just wondering if any one knows of any open source state machine
and message passing framework for embedded applications. I have worked
with good tools like Rhapsody and state flow and find the pattern to
be very efficient for embedded systems. but these tools are extremely
expensive , and I am looking for some cheaper or open source
alternative for personal use.

so far i have found one :

http://smc.sourceforge.net/

I have read the documentation and it sounds good , and I am going to
give it a go. Has anyone tried it ? is it any good?

Thanks In advance
