Savel) writes: at a time when a call for the votes for the VHDL is being called, it's just a matter of time a newsgroup for the other VHDL-users will be called; (er.... 2 of them exist in the market; same name different companies); to avoid ambiguities in the future, please differentiate the vhdl my their company name; like comp.lang.vhdl(I) for the Intermetrics and (C) for Cadence; took me a minute to find out which newsgroup was being called for; also in future all headings need to mention which VHDL is being discussed; The newsgroup in question is for discussions related to IEEE Standard 1076 VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language). The other popular HDL, originally from Cadence, is called Verilog. I think it is a better to follow common usage and refer to IEEE-1076 as "VHDL" and the other language simply as "Verilog". --tom -- Thomas H.
