{{{ Followups have been directed to news.groups. }}} About a month ago, some kind souls decided to share a very large VHDL test suite with us, distributed via comp.lsi. Now, we have a new treat: a set of EDIF examples. Am I alone here, or is this totally out of control? Why are we paying thousands of dollars for kilobytes of stuff that the majority of the net couldn't give a rat's ass about? Based on what I've received so far, the EDIF stuff is going to be about almost a megabyte when done. Can anybody explain why comp.lsi is subject to these abuses? I mean, it's nice enough for these folks to make this stuff available, and I *strongly* support using the net to aid in the distribution. But using the net for the actual distribution is stooopid. -- Chip Rosenthal chip@vector.UUCP | I've been a wizard since my childhood.
