[B-Greek] Semantic Structural Analysis Software?

I have been looking for such software - for about 4 years. I have been 
working with SSA for over 20 years - by hand.  The diagramming add-on in 
Logos can be used to do this, if you know what your are doing in the first 
place. However, the only benefit this has over had-written is legibility. 
There is no decision making capability in the Logos software. If they are 
currently working on a real SSA capable add-on, then it will be useful 
indeed.

SIL has some software that is freeware that comes close.  It constructs 
linguistic trees of various types. Hence its name - Linguistic Tree 
Constructor. I just found it recently, and cannot comment on its utility in 
my situation (pastoral), but I suspect it is useful for linguistic field 
work.  I will need to work with it some to be able to know how helpful it 
will be.

I have always appreciated the more traditional diagramming techniques. I 
agree that Semantic Structural Analysis sometimes deals in interpretive 
areas.  However, I have found it very helpful in having to analyze the 
relationships, and verbalize what I mean, between clauses, phrases, 
sentences, and paragraphs.

If Logos is working on this, I for one am waiting.
