Radek:

We have a disgreement here.  A Verson 5.2 IBIS document will document
AMI_Version 5.2 functionality.

But as long as an AMI model uses lower level functionality, an IBIS
Version 5.2 file can reference it as a lower version of IBIS-AMI.  And
visa-versa.  The only real IBIS command is the [Algorithmic Model] keyword
available only in IBIS Version 5.0 and above.

That way existing and new models can be used.

Hi Arpad,

Perhaps a better way to phrase the first statement could be:

The value of this parameters shall be a valid IBIS version greater or equal to 
5.1, and shall be not be grater that the IBIS version of the IBIS file in which 
the reference to this AMI file is made.

Hello everyone,

Here is an updated draft of the Version BIRD.  (This is not posted on the ATM 
web site yet).

I made a few minor editorial changes on Bob's suggestion.
There were a few suggestions in the last teleconference, but I am not 
completely sure what the decision was for me.
- I thought someone suggested that there was no need o mention
  version numbers at all
- I also thought someone suggested that I should remove the
  sentence about the absence of this keyword meaning version 5.0.

If these two suggestions are still valid, I could remove the
paragraph:

|*              The value of this parameter shall be "5.1" or greater
for
|*              AMI models written in compliance with the IBIS Version
5.1 or
|*              later specifications.  The absence of AMI_version
indicates
|*              that the AMI model was written in compliance with the
IBIS
|*              Version 5.0 specification.

from the BIRD.  I personally don't think it is harmful to keep it there, but I 
can live with or without it.

Please let me know what you think.  I would like to finalize this in today's 
ATM teleconference.

Thanks,

Arpad
