The two vendors were Valid and HP, and they were using schematic symbols
created on TI's internal CAD system, written out in EDIF, and ported to
both the Valid and HP systems.

Both the Valid and HP reps who were giving the demo mentioned that they
had developed the EDIF-in programs independently of each other, which
demonstrates something worthwhile about the EDIF specification.
