   This is the "ieee_proposed" library.  This is a compatability library,
which is designed to provide all of the functionality of the VHDL-200X-FT
packages in VHDL-93.  The "_c" after the package name is used to denote
that this is a 1993 compliant version of this package.  Otherwise, the
name of the file and the name of the package are the same.

Please compile the following files into a library named "ieee_proposed":
standard_additions_c.vhdl
env_c.vhdl
standard_textio_additions_c.vhdl
std_logic_1164_additions.vhdl
numeric_std_additions.vhdl
numeric_std_unsigned_c.vhdl
fixed_pkg_c.vhdl
float_pkg_c.vhdl


New/Updated functions
A) standard_additions -- Additions to the package "std.standard"
   Use model:
   use ieee_proposed.standard_additions.all;
   Dependancies: None.
   Notes:  The functions "rising_edge" and "falling_edge" are defined in
   this package.  If you use "numeric_bit" they are ALSO defined in that
   package, causing a conflict.  The VHDL-200X-FT version of numeric_bit
   has these functions commented out, as well as the "sll", "srl", "ror"
   and "rol" functions which are implicit.
   New types defined in this package:
      REAL_VECTOR
      TIME_VECTOR
      INTEGER_VECTOR
      BOOLEAN_VECTOR
   New constants defined in this package:
      SIM_RESOLUTION : TIME - returns the simulator's resolution (1 ns default)
   1) "maximum" and "minimum" are defined for all default datatypes
   2) _reduce functions (and_reduce, nand_reduce, or_reduce ...) are defined
      These functions reduce a bit_vector to a single bit.  Example:
      or_reduce ("0101") = '1'.  In VHDL-2006 syntax these will be "or".
   3) "vector" and "bit" operations are defined.  These will perform a
      boolean operation of a vector.  Example:
      "1" xor "1010" = "0101";
   5) /??/ function is defined for "bit" ("??" operator is release)
      if (/??/('1')) then -- will return a "true".
   6) rising_edge and falling_edge functions are defined (see Notes).
   7) to_string function - Converts any of the base types into a string.
      Example: 
      assert (bv = "101") report "result was " & to_string(bv) severity note;
   8) to_hstring and to_ostring function (bit_vector to hex or octal string)
B) standard_textio_additions  - Additions to the package "std.textio"
   Use model:
   use ieee_proposed.standard_textio_additions.all;
   Dependencies: std.textio, ieee_proposed.standard_additions
   1) tee - Echos the string to BOTH the file and the screen
   2) SREAD and SWRITE - String read and write routines (so you no longer
      need to do write (L, string'("ABCEDFG"));
   3) HREAD and HWRITE (Hex read and write) for bit_vector
   4) OREAD and OWRITE (octal read and write) for bit_vector
   5) BREAD and BWRITE (binary read and write, same as "READ" and "WRITE" for
      bit_vector
   6) justify - Justify a string left or right with a width.  Example:
      justify ("ABCD", left, 6); will result in "ABCD  "
C) std_logic_1164_additions - Additions to the package "ieee.std_logic_1164"
   Usage model:
   use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
   -- use ieee.std_logic_textio.all; -- Comment out, included in "_additions".
   use ieee_proposed.std_logic_1164_additions.all;
   Dependencies: ieee.std_logic_1164
   Note:  The contents of the "std_logic_textio" package have now been
   included in the "std_logic_1164" package, and an EMPTY "std_logic_textio"
   package is provided in the new release.
   1) Short had aliases:
      a) to_bv - calls "to_BitVector"
      b) to_slv - calls "to_StdLogicVector"
      c) to_suv - calls "to_stdULogicVector"
   2) Long hand aliases:
      a) to_bit_vector - calls "to_BitVector"
      b) to_std_logic_vector - calls "to_StdLogicVector"
      c) to_std_ulogic_vector - calls "to_StdULogicVector"
   3) _reduce functions (and_reduce, nand_reduce, or_reduce ...) are defined
      These functions reduce a std_logic_vector (or ulogic) to a single bit.
      In vhdl-2006 these will be unary "or", example "or "11011" = '1'"
   4) "vector" and "std_ulogic" operations are defined.  These will perform a
      boolean operation of a vector.  Example:
      "1" xor "1010" = "0101";
   5) "std_ulogic" and "boolean" operations are defined.  Thus:
      if '1' and true then  -- returns a "true".
   6) "\??\" function is defined for "std_ulogic" ("??" operator is release)
      if (bool('1')) then -- will return a "true".
   7) READ and WRITE procedures for "std_logic_vector", "std_ulogic_vector"
      and "std_ulogic" are defined.
   8) HREAD and HWRITE (Hex read and write) for std_logic_vector
      and std_ulogic_vector.  These are more "forgiving" than the ones
      originally from "std_logic_textio"
   9) OREAD and OWRITE (octal read and write) for std_logic_vector
      and std_ulogic_vector.  These are more "forgiving" than the ones
      originally from "std_logic_textio"
   10) BREAD and BWRITE (binary read and write, same as "READ" and "WRITE" for
      std_logic_vector and std_ulogic_vector.
   11) to_string function - Converts a "std_ulogic", "std_logic_vector" or
      "std_ulogic_vector" types into a string.
      Example: 
      assert (slv = "101") report "result was " & to_string(slv) severity note;
   12) to_hstring and to_ostring function (std_(u)logic_vector to hex or octal
      string)
D) numeric_std_additions - additions the the package "ieee.numeric_std"
   Usage Model:
   use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
   use ieee.numeric_std.all;
   use ieee_proposed.numeric_std_additions.all;
   Dependencies: ieee.std_logic_1164, ieee.numeric_std
   1) SIGNED or UNSIGNED + std_ulogic operators
   2) SIGNED or UNSIGNED - std_ulogic operators
   3) type UNRESOLVED_UNSIGNED (aliased to U_UNSIGNED) is an unresolved
      verion of UNSIGNED.  It is aliased to "UNSIGNED" for compatability.
   4) type UNRESOLVED_SIGNED (aliased to U_SIGNED) is an unresolved
      verion of SIGNED.  It is aliased to "SIGNED" for compatability.
   5) \?=\, \?/=\ - similar to "std_match", but return std_ulogic values.
      \?<\, \?<=\, \?>\, \?>=\ - compare functions which retrun std_ulogic.
      (these will be "?="... operators in the release)
   7) To_X01, To_X01Z, To_U01X, Is_X - same as std_logic_1164 functions,
      but overloaded for SIGNED and UNSIGNED.
   8) "sla" and "sra" - Mathmetically correct versions of these functions.
   9) minimum and maximum - smaller or larger of two SIGNED or UNSIGNED values.
   10) find_rightmost and find_leftmost - finds the first bit in a string.
       Example:
     find_leftmost (c12, '1'); -- returns the Log2 of "c12".
     returns -1 if not found.
   11) _reduce functions (and_reduce, nand_reduce, or_reduce ...) are defined
      These functions reduce a SIGNED or an UNSIGNED to a single bit.
      (will overload the "or" and "and", ... operators in the release)
   12) SIGNED or UNSIGNED and "std_ulogic" operations are defined. 
      These will perform a boolean operation of a vector.  Example:
      "1" xor "1010" = "0101";
   13) READ and WRITE procedures for "SIGNED", and "UNSIGNED" are defined.
   14) HREAD and HWRITE (Hex read and write) for SIGNED and UNSIGNED.
      These are more "forgiving" than the ones
      originally from "std_logic_textio"
   15) OREAD and OWRITE (octal read and write) for "SIGNED" and "UNSIGNED.
      These are more "forgiving" than the ones
      originally from "std_logic_textio"
   16) BREAD and BWRITE (binary read and write, same as "READ" and "WRITE" for
      SIGNED and UNSIGNED.
   17) to_string function - Converts a "SIGNED" or "UNSIGNED" types into a
      string.  Example: 
      assert (UNS = "101") report "result was " & to_string(UNS) severity note;
   18) to_hstring and to_ostring function (SIGNED or UNSIGNED to hex or octal
      string)
E) numeric_std_unsigned  - Simular to the "std_logic_unsigned" packages, but
   with all of the functionality of the "numeric_std" package.
