specified in OMG Revised Final Adopted Specification, document
ptc/04-10-02, as well previous UML versions
1.5, 1.4, 1.3 and 1.1. The
stencil also contains several non-normative UML symbols,
that are not specified in the standard, but used in some UML
books and papers. Please note that the Revised Final Adopted

with minor changes is expected sometimes during 2005. "

Alternative to Viso (Free)
http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/dia/en/index.html
Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.
