There was once a lot of chatter on the net about the VHDL Cookbook and its
differing versions of PostScript. I happened to get my hands on the the
wrong version and would like to get my hands on the correct one.
Since one of the great things about PostScript is that it's a character
based print-controlling language, it's possible to e-mail it. So, if
somebody out there would be kind enough to post the many chapters here so
that I can get them, I would owe that person my thanks. By the way, it's
the machinery security issues here that where my problem (ftp's are difficult
to arrange), and somebody awhile back said something about the good version
of the PostScript being available from bears.ucsb.edu (something like that),
and didn't give the internet address for the machine.
In any case, thanks again,
Peter Turner

I have to warn anyone to post the Postscript source of the Cookbook. There are mainly two reasons against it. The first thing is the copyright hold by Peter Ashenden. This should not be a mayor problem; he may probably allow posting. More serious is the amount of data transferred. Look at the following directory list: total 3346 -rw-r----- 1 veit 2695 Apr 12 08:24 README -rw-r----- 1 veit 311200 Apr 12 08:24 VHDL-Cookbook-1.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 415274 Apr 12 08:24 VHDL-Cookbook-2.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 311680 Apr 12 08:24 VHDL-Cookbook-3.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 385039 Apr 12 08:24 VHDL-Cookbook-4.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 331437 Apr 12 08:24 VHDL-Cookbook-5.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 300655 Apr 12 08:25 VHDL-Cookbook-6.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 1138138 Apr 12 08:25 VHDL-Cookbook-7.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 104328 Apr 12 08:25 VHDL-Cookbook-contents.ps -rw-r----- 1 veit 31054 Apr 12 08:25 VHDL-Cookbook-cover.ps See what I mean? As usually seen in source groups, after a posting, there will be crying: I have lost.. not found.. was not posted part # ??? , please repost, which will increase the traffic again. The above directory (except that files compressed) can be found on du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de (134.91.4.130, if nameserver doesn't resolve) in /pub/cad/VHDL-Cookbook via anonymous ftp. This site is in Germany and should be mainly used outside working hours from Europe (please use this from America only if there is no other solution). This version is the original fileset from Peter Ashenden, unmodified. You have to throw out at least the font loading font parts (hex sequences following EEXEC + environment). -- | | / Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de |__| / University of Duisburg | BITNET: veit%du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de@UNIDO | | / Fac. of Electr.
