Benchmark Updates

August 1994 : Translators/Parsers for Partitioning93 Benchmarks

A set of translators was added to the Partitioning93 benchmark set. These translators were generated in response to user requests, and are expected to facilitate parsing the existing set of Partitioning93 benchmark circuits. The translators were installed in the directory:
Partitioning93/Translators.
For more information, please see the README file in the Translators directory mentioned above.
