    Dear all,

    Here is the list of free graph viewers/editors I got recommendations for:

    * ClarkSystem http://www.bultreebank.org/
    * NooJ (www.nooj4nlp.net)
    * Tulip http://directory.fsf.org/all/tulip.html
    * uDraw(Graph) http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/uDrawGraph/en/index.html
    * GraphViz http://www.graphviz.org/
    * Linguistic Tree Constructor -- http://ltc.sourceforge.net -- for
    syntactic trees

    And here's another one I found myself :)
    * yED http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.htm

    All the replies I received are pasted below.
    Thanks a lot to everyone who replied my email.

    Regards,
    Roy.
