This message announces the availability of SIMSYNCH release 1b0.

New in synch1b0:

	* scm2vrlg.scm (translate-tag): Conditionalize reset block with
	`ifdef exemplar if NO-RTL-SIMULATION flag is present.
	* simsynch.scm(synch:declare): Uses current *block*, instead of
	confounding blocks and ptags.
	* simsynch.scm (call-with-classified-pins): Added output-enable to
	outputs when simple symbol.
	* scm2vrlg.scm (generate-inc-file): Conditionalized on feature
	'lift-bus.
	* simsynch.scm (call-with-classified-pins): Conditionalized on
	feature 'lift-bus.

SIMSYNCH is a simulator for digital electronics at scales from chip to
board.

 The design files are comprised of Scheme definitions and expressions.
 These design files can be run as a Scheme program at high speed.  The
 design files can also be translated into formats suitable for logic
 compilers (MACHXL and Verilog).

 SIMSYNCH simulates blocks of synchronous logic, signals whose states
 change simultaneously on a clock signal transition.  Each block also
 has a reset signal, which forces all signals to the state specified
 in the design file.  SIMSYNCH can simultaneously simulate multiple
 blocks with different clocks and resets.  Devices can contain
 multiple blocks; Blocks can span multiple devices.

Documentation is included in the distribution.  Documentation is also
