Now that I don't work for a simulator company any more, I could help with the
Verilog-A
Verilog-AMS stuff..
and help to develop a standard way to control the simulation and process
outputs
New list member, Jonathan David.. (I've known Al for a couple of years
already.. )
Ad: Any volunteers in/near Bay area should meet at BMAS. www.bmas-conf.org
(note: I'm the publicity chair.. ) BMAS follows CICC (which conflicts with
CDNlive for users of comercial software..)
