VHDL Interactive Tutorial 
                               README File


1. README File:
This file is an ASCII file that provides information on accessing the
information on the CD-ROM.  Note that all file and directory names on
this CD-ROM are in UPPER CASE except for some of the Mosaic files and
directories.  Some UNIX systems will display the names on the CD as
lower case, but will accept references to name in either case.  


2. General Browser Information
This CD-ROM uses HTML 2.0 and was tested using several browsers. 
However, some older versions of browsers may experience some problems,
especially with the tables used in the toolbar.  By using the browser's
"BACK" and "FORWARD" commands along with the module index pages, 
you should be able to navigate through the tutorial using any 
HTML browser.

For best results, use a Super-VGA or better display.  For small
screen displays, some pages many not fit on the screen so scrolling
will be required.  You may wish to maximize the size of your browser 
display area by adjusting some of your browser options (i.e. remove
menu bars, remove URL displays, etc.). Readability may be improved
by adjusting the default font size or text colors in your browser.
