Version 2.1 updates

2-08-91  / S. Turner /
  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

12-19-90 / G. Newell /

Version 2.1 updates

07-29-91    / S. Turner /
  fixed syntax errors

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

07-19-91    / S. Turner /
new timing module 

2-08-91  / S. Turner /
  Eliminated Eflags type in favor of separate XGEN and TIMING_MESG flags
  Grouped wire and fanout capacitances into record types,
    and are referenced by pin name rather than pin number
  Manufacturer's timing parameters grouped into MIN, TYP, MAX constants
  Added record types Wire_Times, Cwire_In, Cload_Out, Timing_Params
  Changed Sim_Timing record type to contain PROP_DELAYS and WIRE_DELAYS
  Added GEN_CWIRES and GEN_PARAMS to GET_TIMING() parameter list 

2-08-91  / S. Turner /
  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
  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.
