I used dia to do things like this (monospace font advised):
.---. .---. .---. .---. .---. .---.
OS API '---' '---' '---' '---' '---' '---'
| | | | | |
v v | v | v
.------------. | .-----------. | .-----.
| Filesystem | | | Scheduler | | | MMU |
'------------' | '-----------' | '-----'
| | | |
v | | v
.----. | | .---------.
| IO |<----' | | Network |
'----' | '---------'
| | |
v v v
.---------------------------------------.
| HAL |
'---------------------------------------'
I did my drawings in Dia and converted the xml result with a little script.
Needless to say that i got tired of that very quickly (There are a few things
in dia that get on my nerves too). But tha is the past, I finally took time
to write an app that does the same thing without coversion headache
(development headache doesn't count as I bad at most everything but doing
software (maybe)).
I'll release it on CPAN for Xmas (tm) ;)
Cheers, Nadim.
