I seek references and insight into techniques used in minimizing microcode width and
length.  If enough responses arrive, I will post a summary.  The problem is one of
optimization and I'm looking for efficient algorithms.  Any literature references
welcome.  Source code would be ideal.  This is for a Master's thesis (not my own).
I read comp.arch regularly, but e-mail is great too.  Try hhd0@gte.com or 
hazzam@jade.cc.tufts.edu.

Adv(thanks)ance.
