MatrixX is now owned and marketed by National Instruments (http://
www.ni.com/matrixx/).  I haven't used any recent versions but in the
early 1990's MatrixX/SystemBuild was a much better product than Matlab/
Simulink. I think MatrixX is still available with the Ada code
generation option but a similar option was dropped from Matlab/
Simulink a few years ago (presumably due to lack of demand).
