Hermann, You are correct, IBIS-ISS could do a better job than EBD, or also PKG. But from a syntax perspective IBIS-ISS cannot be considered as a complete replacement for EBD (or PKG). We can only replace the "guts" of EBD or PKG with IBIS-ISS. There are already a couple of proposals in discussion to make use of IBIS-ISS for package modeling. Even though there is no official proposal for making use of IBIS-ISS for EBD improvements, the ideas in the proposals for improving the package modeling with IBBIS-ISS could also be applied to EBD. I am sure that a proposal for improving EBD with IBIS-ISS will surface soon, we just didn't get there yet.

Hello, I have not followed the IBIS-ISS development, but on a first look this seems to be able to the better solution compared to .ebd. Is IBIS-ISS intended to replace .ebd ? Or are there still situations where .ebd is required? I would be happy if tool vendors would comment on thier current and planned implementations in IBIS-ISS ... thanks and regards Hermann ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
