John,

Its 2001... WHAT'S THE HURRY IN SUPPORTING 1993 EXTENSIONS TO VHDL????

Am I going to have to wait until 2008 for Verilog2000 support from vendors?

This kind of snail's pace "innovation" in the EDA industry is what makes me
fantasize about jumping tracks and becoming a software engineer - healthy
competition means they never have to put up with this type of crap.  Every
time I see the features and stability of the tools they get to use, I'm just
amazed at how poor our ASIC tools are in comparision.
