=======================================================================
This CD contains:

o The primary examples from each chapter of the book "The Verilog PLI 
  Handbook", by Stuart Sutherland, published by Kluwer Academic 
  Publishers, copyright 1999.
  
  o The directory "Examples_PC" contains subdirectories for each 
    chapter from the book.  The files in each directory are all 
    text files, with DOS style carriage returns and line-feeds.
    NOTE: Long file names are used (as supported by Windows 95
    and Windows NT).
  
  o The directory "Examples_UNIX" contains subdirectories for each 
    chapter from the book.  The files in each directory are all 
    text files, with UNIX style carriage returns.
  
o A comprehensive example of using C sockets to establish
  communications between a Verilog Simulation and an
  independent C program.  This example is provided courtesy
  of David Roberts, of Cadence Design Systems.
  
o An evaluation version of the Model Technology ModelSim PE
  Verilog simulator, for Windows 95/98/NT operating systems.
  This simulator will run many of the examples included in 
  Chapters 8 through 18 of this CD.  Refer to the README.txt
  file in the ModelSim_Simulator subdirectory for more
  information on this evaluation copy of ModelSim PE.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  The examples from the PLI book were tested using 
the Cadence Verilog-XL simulator.  Every effort was made to ensure 
that the examples are accurate and correct.  I am very interested 
in any suggestions on improving the examples, or about any bugs 
that are found.  Please e-mail at [e-mail].  I will 
maintain an up-to-date version of these examples on my web page, 
at www.sutherland.com.  Please refer to this page for a list of 
errata in the book and updates to examples.

I hope you find these examples useful in learning and understanding
the very complex topic of the Verilog Programming Language Interface!

Stu Sutherland
