The Modular Tutorial portion of this CD-ROM was supported in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Electronics Technology Office (DARPA/ETO) and the U.S. Air Force RASSP Education and Facilitation (RASSP E&F) program under contract number F33615-94-C-1457.
Grateful acknowledgement is also extended to Anthony Gadient, Jack Stinson and Tommy Taylor for their dedicated contributions that made this IEEE Standards Press project possible.
The information available on this CD-ROM has been composed in a manner thought to be compatible with most computer architectures. The final appearance of these documents, however, is dependent on the client software as implemented at the user site and as such is outside of RASSP E&F's control. This CD-ROM has been checked using HTML 2.0 browsers. For best results, use a Super-VGA or better display. For small screen displays, some pages many not fit on the screen so scrolling will be required. You may wish to maximize the size of your browser display area by adjusting some of your browser options (i.e. remove menu bars, remove URL displays, etc.). Readability may be improved by adjusting the default font size or text colors in your browser. A README.TXT file is available on the CD-ROM to help with any problems starting up the browser and accessing the home page. This CD-ROM was designed as a stand alone tutorial. There are a few links ( RASSP Web Server, DARPA/ETO, etc.) that use the Internet. If you do not have an Internet connection, an error message will appear when these links are selected. However, the usefulness of the tutorial is not diminished by not having these links. Feedback on the CD-ROM may be sent to stds.vhdlinfo@ieee.org.
