      Scicos is a visual editor for constructing models of hybrid
      dynamical systems. Invoking Scicos with no argument opens up an
      empty Scicos window. Models can then be assembled, loaded,
      saved, compiled, simulated, using GUI of Scicos.  Scicos
      serves as an interface to the various block diagram compilers
      and the hybrid simulator scicosim.
