• graphviz software has been uploaded to krypton so you can now draw your fsms.  This means fsmdraw and dot will give you pretty pictures.  In your krypton .bash_profile file, add this line: 
                  PATH=.:/home/faculty/batesr1/fsmtools/fsm-3.7/bin:/home/faculty/batesr1/graphviz-1.12/bin:"${PATH}"
