Walter, Could you please revise the sentence: Other Notes: A DLL should not rely on the current directory set by the EDA tool or simulator to determine the locations of files. to: Other Notes: A DLL should not rely on the current working directory (CWD) set by the EDA tool or simulator to determine the locations of files. I think this terminology would be more "proper" as far as programming guys are concerned...

Fangyi, I think the enclosed updated draft 6 should address your comment.

Hi, Walter; The definition of DLL_Path is never explicitly given in the BIRD. Should it be spelled out that DLL_Path points to the directory where the DLL and .ami file reside? Otherwise it's not clear what DLL_Path value EDA tools should provide. Thanks, Fangyi
