You'd think I'd be able to get that right by looking at the "SpecManiac" shirt
I have from them ;)

Is Vera something different from Verilog? Sound like it. Where does Verilog
come from, Cadence? And what ever happened to VHDL? Emacs seems to have a
VHDL mode, but not a Verilog mode (or did I not look hard enough?),
why is that?

That's interesting. I've been in CC world for a long time. Now that I'm in
the Linux world full time, I've lost track of what's going on in CC world over
the last 6 months. Before I left Bay Networks, my CC reps were telling me that
CC would be release for Linux early in Q2-2K. Since they've been rumored to
have had a port to Linux for years now, I'm curious to know what the holdup is!
