VDT: VHDL Developer’s Toolkit

VDT is a VHDL front end and plus alpha. The toolkit was developed to support fast and easy development and integration of VHDL application tools. The toolkit is based on a object-oriented data model. The data model supports the full set of IEEE Standard 1076-1987 and 1076-1993 syntax and semantics.
