==== Description: ====
Biddy is a multi-platform academic Binary Decision Diagrams package.

Binary Decision Diagrams are popular data structure for representing Boolean
functions. They are extensively used in software for formal verification of
systems.

Biddy uses ROBDDs with complement edges as described in "K.S. Brace, R.L.
Rudell, R.E. Bryant. Efficient Implementation of a BDD Package. 27. ACM/IEEE
DAC, pages 40-45, 1990."

Biddy is in fact a library of functions with API.
It is oriented towards readable and comprehensible source code in C. It is
primary intended for educational purposes.

There two aditional packages included in Biddy project: bddview and Bdd
Scout. bddview is a pure Tcl/Tk script for visualization of BDDs. BDD Scout is
a demo application demonstrating the capability of Biddy and bddview.

Biddy is already used in EST, a tool for formal verification of systems.



==== Other Software Required: ====
Biddy is a library and does not have any dependencies.

To run included demo application BDD Scout you need:
1. Tcl/Tk (BSD-style license, http://www.tcl.tk/about/support.html),
2. BWidgets (BSD-style License, http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib)
3. bddview (this is our application and we released it into the public
domain, it is included in tarball)

Bdd Scout use graphviz package (http://www.graphviz.org/License.php) to
prepare graphs for viewing but this is optional and the program will compile,
run, and perform all other functions even if the user does not have graphviz
installed on his computer.


==== Other Comments: ====
This project have been previously submitted to Savannah and canceled due to
licence problems with graphviz. Now, Bdd Scout no longer depends on graphviz.
The reviewer proposed resubmiting using "resubmit button". I could not find
this button and thus I used "Post a Comment". But after 2 months without
answer I decided to submit it again using regular form.
