Free VHDL tutorial system available

Free VHDL tutorial system available

[Gregory Aharonian]

    For some time I have been very critical of the Ada community for
totally missing an opportunity to integrate defense hardware and software
design by integrating Ada and VHDL tools.  Given the common syntax 
between the two languages, such an integration would not require much
to do, but have many benefits.  That visionary programs like STARS dropped
the ball on this issue is disappointing.

    Many of you probably are unfamilar with VHDL, despite its DoD origin
and similarities to Ada.  To rectify this if you are interested, a
company is making a VHDL computer based tutorial available.  You can
contact Racal-Redac at 800-356-8352 ext 350 to get more information on
their system. It requires a SPARC workstation to run, and includes a
training versions of the VHDL simulator (which is why they are offering
a free tutorial system).  The tutorial is a sound-based multimedia program,
and sounds quite interesting (I Haven't seen it).

    So if you are interested about VHDL, check this out.
