Wendel's answers appear to be correct to me, but you must be very careful in accepting "unoficial" interpretations since there are often subtleties which are only spotted after careful review. As a result you run the risk of receiving different answers from different people (or by asking at different times!). The only answers that should be depended on are the ones received via Hilary Kahn You should always send your questions to Hilary for a reviewed response, including correlation with the questions that have already been asked. There are currently four volumes of "EDIF Questions and Answers" available from the University of Manchester. Write to Ms. H.J. Kahn, Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, England for more information. You can send the questions by ordinary mail, FAX or E-mail. The e-mail address is edif-support@ux.cs.man.ac.uk Alternatively you can forward your mail via the EDIF BBS 602-897-5478 E-mail address edif-support@edif.sps.mot.com I have forwarded your post to this address to be sure that it is not missed! > You may also find that it is useful to obtain certain of the EDIF > committee's publication regarding netlist and schematics > representation in EDIF 2 0 0.
