		SystemC Master/Slave Library (systemc-2.0-MS2.0b3)
                ===================================================

This is the MS2.0B3 release of Master/Slave Library.

-----------------------------------------------------
				IMPORTANT

1. This is the MS2.0B3 release of the master/slave Library. This library
   is a part of the SystemC standard, providing backward compatibility 
   for your existing designs.  
   
   The library is layered on top of 2.0 core. It provides 
   modeling paradigm/methodology that is well suited to a tool
   flow for System-On-Chip designs with bus based communication
   architectures. 

   The library contains all the features related to the 
   master/slave paradigm as featured in 1.2.1B2 release.

  
2. This release is supported on the following platforms for which it has
   been well tested:
    o Sun Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 with GNU C++ compiler version 2.95.2

3. From this release onwards, the SystemC 2.0 core language features
   (as defined in the 2.0 Functional Specification) will be released
   separately from the methodology-specific libraries, like the 
   Master-Slave library. This is being done to ensure that core language
   developers and library developers can work independently to bring the
   latest features to the user community, without having to depend on one
   another. This will allow features and bug fixes to appear quicker. 

   As a result of this separation, all methodology-specific libraries 
   have to be downloaded separately. You will receive separate tar files
   for the core language and the methodology-specific libraries. You will
   have to untar them and build them separately. However, you can install
   the core language and the the methodology-specific libraries in one
   location so that all users at your site can have access to an 
   integrated SystemC library. Please see the INSTALL file of the 
   methodology-specific library for details on how to do this.

4. The production release of SystemC MS2.0b3  will include support for
   most, if not all, of currently supported platforms.
