 THIS DIRECTORY HAS THE FOLLOWING FILES :

 tx.vhd     : Model of the "transmitter" process in the VHDL model of 8251
	      USART

 vectors    : VHDL test vectors directory for the "transmitter" process

 test_vectors_tx.doc  : Documentation for the test vectors. Contains description of
		        testing strategy.

 cmd_tx.inc : Simulation command file for "transmitter" process test vectors.

 PROCEDURE FOR SIMULATING THE TEST VECTORS FILE :


 (1) Compile the MVL7 data types file :
				          zvan types.vhd

 (2) Compile the VHDL data types file :
				          zvan synthesis_types.vhd

 (3) Compile the VHDL data functions file :
				             zvan MVL7_functions.vhd

 (4) Compile the VHDL model file of the 8251 USART:
				       		    zvan tx.vhd

 (5) Compile a test vector file :
		     		    zvan tx_async_5_1x.vhdl

 (6) Simulate the test vectors :
				 zvsim -t ns -i cmd_tx.inc E

     The simulation output appears in a file called "run.out".
     Any simulation errors (outputs not matching expected values) are shown
     by "Assert" statements in the file "run.out".
