	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.
