Need state diagram editor

Is there a freeware state diagram editor for Windows somewhere?

I need only very basic functionality. Essentially only drawing
circles, arrows and text labels, and being able to edit easily. No
need for code generation or other fancy stuff.

The opensource dia http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ is quite good, it
understands connections etc, I use it occasionally for UML stuff.

Windows installer at http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/

If you get the OpenOffice.org (at, strangely enough,

http://www.openoffice.org) you'll find that it has a drawing editor that
is fairly good -- it doesn't understand state diagrams, but it _does_
understand shape libraries, so you can make some aids.

It should do what you're asking for, and it comes with a word processor,
spread sheet program, and presentation program.

Try Dia. It's Linux native, but there is a Windoze port.

Surprising though it may sound, I use MS Word for all sorts of tasks like that.
Quite simple really, and a born Windoze native.
 
Try an UML editor such as ArgoUML http://argouml.tigris.org/ - there are
plenty to choose from. Most of them will do state diagrams.

Thanks for the tip. This is nearly perfect. I cannot figure out how to
connect text to other objects, so that the text automatically moves
along with the object.

I can group the object and the text, but then I have to ungroup if I
want to edit the text. And if I group text with a line, the line loses
its capability to follow connected objects.
