	The VHDL Cookbook
	First Edition (July 1990)

	(c) 1990, Peter J. Ashenden

This is a set of notes I put together for my Computer Architecture
class.  Students had a project in which they had to model a
microprocessor architecture of their choice.  They used these notes to
learn VHDL.  Not all of the language is covered (about 95%).

You may use this booklet for your own personal learning purposes.  You
may not use it for profit (eg, selling copies of it, using it in a
course for which people pay, etc).  If you want to make use of it
beyond these conditions, contact me and we can come to some
arrangement.

I will be revising the course this year, and if I get time, I expect
to revise the booklet as well.  I've learnt a fair bit more about the
practicalities of using VHDL since I wrote the booklet.  Stay tuned
for info on a revised edition.

VHDL-Cookbook.cpt.Hqx is a binhex'ed compactor archive.  Get the file,
copy it to your Mac, use binhex 4.0 to extract VHDL-Cookbook.cpt, then
launch VHDL-Cookbook.cpt.  It will self-extract, producing a set of
Microsoft Word files.

VHDL-Cookbook.ps.tar.Z is a compressed tar archive containing
postscript files with the Apple Laser Prep kindly prepended by
alind@eng.clemson.edu (Alex Lind).  Get the archive using binary mode.
The original postscript was generated from the Microsoft Word documents.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

I had several problems retrieving the whole package
(1.6 MB) from Australia. Probably others have, too.
Thus the version available from here is splitted into
the single chapters of the book.
The following files represent the content of this 1.6 MB Archive
available from 129.127.8.8; thus, for a complete version
they have to be retrieved all together.

**** Additional Information (13-jun-91):

We have had problems to print the Cookbook with a standard PS printer
(e.g. NEC LQ890). You may probably have, too, if you do not use an
Applelaser-Printer. This is because the Cookbook was prepared on
a Macintosh (assumption). The software used took care of the large number
of bugs in the Apple-PS-Interpreter. So the Postscript presented here is
not exactly Postscript. To circumvent trouble with other printers which
use true PS, there is a header file named mac_head.ps. Before you print
any file of the Cookbook you should first download the mac_head.ps file
to the printer (it does not PRINT anything) then send the Cookbook chapters.
