Versions:
	This is version 1.1 of the DesignKit
	It work with version 97a of the Cadence tools


Installation:

	1) extract files from the archive cada_distrib-1.1.tgz
	   
	   tar zxvf cadal_distrib-1.1.tgz
	   or : gunzip -c cadal_distrib-1.1.tgz | tar -vxf -

Edit these files and REPLACE either CADAL or OPUS by the appropriate paths.

CADAL="Home of extraction of the files of cadal"
OPUS ="Home of the Cadence tools installation"

Files: 	
	install/setup
	.cdsinit
	.cdslocal
	cds.lib
	mbkcad
	vlogIn.file
	vlogIn_99.file

To use the cadal designkit, it is preferable to go to another directory.

In that directory run
	$CADAL/insatll/setup
This will copy the appropriate files.

CAUTION: The file .cdsenv must be in the root directory of the user.

DOCUMENTATION:
An example of a lab. session is provided in the doc directory. Sorry, it is in French.
Help is also provided in the Alliance menu in the main window of Cadence.

To start use the designkit:

	$CADAL/install/setup
	source mbkcad
	icfb
If the "Alliance" menu does not appear in the CIW, one of the steps above may not have been done correctly.
