  PALASM is a bit archaic but at least it's cheap (version 1.6 was given
to us free from MMI).  MMI is coming out with version 2.0 soon but they
are charging about $200. for it.  This is still cheap compared to the
new software packages coming out.  The two I know of are CUPL and ABLE.
Both claim to do a lot (e.g. they both allow transfer from a state diagram
to a programmed device) but are about $700 for IBM PC based software and
$2400 for VAX based software.  I wish I knew why the VAX software is so
much more expensive.
