Hi guy(s), Don't worry - Manuel and I are here, and I think that brings us up to a quorum... Some salient points from the Tools WG: - Unix ( which I read as 'Unix-like' ) is favoured by the vast majority of potential users. - There are lots of potential users. - Help from the author of yet another similar tool may be forthcoming. - Assignment address range selection schemes are many and varied ( I think we should start with a simple one, and I think we agree it will be suggestion only ). I think we should start with a system block diagram - I'll post one next week when I've got access to xfig, unless someone beats me to it...
