Version 2.1 updates

2-08-91  / S. Turner / Version 2.1 updates
  SIMFLAG package is now in STD_PACK library
  New convention for capitalization:
    ALL CAPS :  variables, constants, functions, design units
    First_Cap:  type definitions
    all_lower:  reserved VHDL keywords

Version 2.1 updates

07-31-91    / S. Turner /
  added LOAD_ERROR mode

07-28-91    / S. Turner /
  moved entity-declarations & architecture-bodies into 1 file

2-08-91  / S. Turner /
  Added GEN_CWIRES and GEN_PARAMS to GET_TIMING() parameter list 
  Added KCHL and KCLH capacitance derating factors for each output pin
  Added capacitance derating coefficients for CALC_CURVE()
  Added WIRE_FACTOR constant to convert wire capacitance into delay time
  Following "EIA Timing and Environmental Data Specification" guidelines to 
    calculate missing manufacturer's timing parameters
  Changed parameter names to reflect changed in entity's generic map
  Eliminated GENERIC/TIMING/ANNOTATED option -- Generic timing parameters
    are now selected with the GENERIC_VALUES option of TIME_MODE in the 
    SIMFLAG package.  Back-annotation of capacitance values occurs automatically
    when capacitances other than the default are passed in.
  All PROP_DELAYS are now multiplied by the capacitance derating factor,
    in addition to voltage and temperature factors.
