############ This file contains announcements issued in 1991

========= May 11, 1992 =============

Fixed bench/stdcell.92/db.avq.vpnr - some signal names did not
start with a letter and the vpnr parser complained.  Now it doesn't.
############ For older announcements, see 'ANNOUNCEMENTS.90'

========= March 27, 1992 =============

Fixed the IO lists in the standard cell benchmarks sioo and balu.
Updated the 'README' file in the stdcell.92 directory.  The changed
files are in the tar archive 'update.3.27.92.tar'.  If you have retrieved
the data before 3/27/92,  11am Eastern Standard Time (US), all you need
to get is that update file (or its compressed version).   If you
retrieved the bench92.tar file later, you have the correct data.

Reason for the mistake: the original data for these benchmarks did not
specify the desired positions for the I/O pins.  Therefore, I picked
the desired positions from instances of balu/sioo in the xlii
benchmark.  Unfortunately, in the transfer of positions to the pins, I
also changed the pin names.  This has now been fixed (I hope) and the
pins have the correct positions and names.

See the stdcell.92/README for more on the balu and sioo benchmarks.

========= March 26, 1992 =============

Updated the tar archive to reflect the corrections to db.vpnr and
db.yal which were done long ago but somehow never propagated to the
archives.  All compressed and uncompressed archives should be OK.

The db.vpnr and db.yal files were added to the 1992 tar archives
for those people who had the 1990 release complete and needed only
the 1992 additions.

====== March 9, 1992 =======

Fixed the floorplanning benchmark 'fan'.  The net 'Phi1' in the IO list
of the parent module should have been 'Phi'.  Here are the diffs:

rdiff  -r1.1 fan.vpnr
727c727
<    Phi1 B:(72,76) width=2400 desired=(80000,0) pintype=input
---
>    Phi B:(72,76) width=2400 desired=(80000,0) pintype=input

rdiff  -r1.1 fan.yal
939c939
<    Phi1 I BOTTOM 80 2.4 METAL2;
---
>    Phi I BOTTOM 80 2.4 METAL2;
