John,
I hear that Verilog is in the process of moving to a Pentium / Windows NT
capability. Anybody else hear this? Just curious. A System Engineering
tool I use that is very resource hungry has been adopted that way and in
general, its performance matches, but usually exceeds the performance on
Unix platforms.
