This name (and position in the tree) is not final;  other suggestions are welcome during the discussion. (Another possibility is "comp.sys.compass")  Charter: -------- The proposed newsgroup "comp.cad.compass" will serve as a medium for discussing issues and exchanging information with regards to the Compass Design Automation EDA tools.  Rationale: ---------- The correct use and application of EDA software is pivotal to the success of integrated circuit design.  A significant number of designers are using the Compass Design Automation tools to develop integrated circuits.  The Compass Design Automation tools are very sophisticated and complex.  As with all EDA software, there are subtle 'tricks' and procedures that can help a designer perform better when using the Compass Design Automation tools.  A newsgroup addressing this EDA tool set will allow both users and developers of the Compass Design Automation software to exchange information.  This offers an increased 'pool-of-information' concerning these tools that can be used to help designers make better use of the Compass Design Automation software.  The information can also be helpful in Compass Design Automation's efforts to improve the tools.  Contents: --------- The following topics would be appropriate for the newsgroup:  -Useful hints on using the Compass Design Automation Software more  effectively -Identification of bugs/shortcomings in the software -Suggestions for improving the design tools -Information regarding integration of the Compass Design Automation tools with  other design software -Hardware related issues when using the tools -Applications notes -Scripts/programs which can assist in doing a design using the Compass Design  Automation software -Benchmarks -Information regarding Compass User Group activities  Discussion Period: ------------------ The discussion period will be from April 6 to May 6, 1993.  Please post follow-up discussion  to news.groups.  After that period, if enough interest is shown and a consensus is reached, a CVF (call-for-votes) will be posted and a vote will be run.  The voting period will last for another 31 days. --  =========================================================================== Lloyd Cha                  * DISCLAIMER:  The views expressed above do not [email protected]  * necessarily represent the opinions of anyone.
