[comp.lsi] need help with COLLECT function

UD138985@NDSUVM1.BITNET (05/04/88)

Hello there.....

I am currently reading a book called VLSI Silicon Compilation and the Art
of Automatic Microchip Design, and need a clue about the COLLECT function
given in his chip design language.  I am not sure what he (Ronald F Ayres)
means by COLLECT.  Does it mean to bring together?  Or does it mean
a COLLECTion of objects (which I think it does)?  Could someone who is
familiar with the book please give me a clue about what he is talking
about?


     Thanks in advance for any replies.


     Bob.

	sure what he (Ronald F Ayres) means by COLLECT.  . . . .

As I recall, COLLECT is used to collect, into a list, items that are
produced by iteration.
