Hi, John,

Here they are - Bluespec's solutions to the design challenges as we laid out
in December in ESNUG 459 #5.

I hope people enjoy taking a look.  Although these designs are fairly small,
perhaps they'll start to illustrate why, in the words of a 'surly' designer
in Japan:

    "...designers using Bluespec really are working on a higher plane."

         - from http://www.deepchip.com/wiretap/061218.html

Please tell me if you have any questions.  Be sure to extract everything to
a directory and go to the README doc first.  It will explain everything.
Otherwise without a directory, you'll have 139 files to sort through.

I'm interested in how soon Brett will show us the Forte source code to this
challenge (assuming Forte Cynthesizer can do it; it might not be able to.)

Have fun next week and don't let Brett off the hook in your Troublemaker's
panel.  I've found he likes to change the subject when he's in trouble!  :)

  Editor's Note: You'll find the Bluespec design as #59 in the DeepChip
  downloads section here.  Please tell me what you think of it.  - John
