Summary: Additional standards

MAP/TOP are part of quite a large effort to get different machines to "play"
together. Some of the emerging standards in the area are EDIF, IGES, VHDL.

They each serve as "application" layers in the MAP/TOP terminology, but the
function is to get ways to send designs. EDIF (the one I am most familiar
with) is intended to allow a user to transfer Electronic (IC/PCB) designs
between different CAD systems. Try comp.lsi for more info, or write the
EDIF Administration Office for mor info.
