  Objective VHDL - An Interactive Tutorial
 
         Alpha Version (9/1998)
--------------------------------------------

1. Requirements

To view the tutorial, a HTML browser providing
Java Script is necessary. We recommend Netscape4
or Internet Expolorer4. Other browsers or older
versions are not tested intensitivly and may
produce problems.
The browser must enable the support for Java
Script. If cookies are enabled, the tutorial
is able to remember the last visited page. The
next session can start from this position
directly.
Finally, we recommend a 17" color display to 
avoid scrolling.  


2. Installation

No special installation procedure is required.
Load the "start.htm" page into your browser and
follow the links.


3. Known bugs

- JavaScript error, if examples are referenced
  with Internet Explorer
- sometimes if the table of contens is displayed
  in a separate window und Win95 using Netscape3
  a JavaSrcipt error occurs

  
4. Planned extensions

- the glossary will be extended
- some additional pages with more in depth 
  explanations
- tool support to evaluate examples of
  tutorial (analyzer/translator)
- complete examples downloadable  
- the interactive tests will be extendend with
  hints in case of wrong answers.
