What is VBS?
</H4>
This is the public release of the Verilog Behavioral Simulator.
Verilog is a Hardware Description Language used mostly for digital circuit
design and simulation. This program is a simple implementation of a
Verilog simulator. VBS tries to implement all of the Verilog behavioral
constructs that are synthesizable, but still allow complex test vectors
for simulation.
Please send all comments/suggestions directly to Jimen Ching.

What are the latest features in the current release?</font>
</H4>
What's New in 1.4.0
<p>
This release contains many bug fixes and a few new features. The new
features include:
<p>
Shell interface for Guile<br>
$dump* API support<br>
Multiple/lvalue concatenation<br>
Net declaration assignment<br>
Delay or event control in non-blocking assignment<br>
Hierarchical variable reference<br>
<p>
There are too many bug fixes to list here. VBS now passes many of the
test cases in the IVL test suite maintained by Steven Wilson. The
Makefile includes a target to run through those test cases. The test
suite can be downloaded from the Icarus project; icarus.com.

There are no screenshots at this point. VBS is a text/command
line program.
