Talk:Advanced Boolean Expression Language

In the FPGA article, it's written than Lattice now owns ABEL, however in this article it says that Xilinx owns ABEL, someone should clarify the situation. - anon

ABEL is owned by Xilinx, which acquired the tool through acquisition of MINC, which had purchased Synario, which was a division of Data I/O. Lattice purchased its current CPLD technologies (including the PALASM tools) from Vantis, which was a division of AMD, which had earlier merged with (acquired) MMI... It's enough to make your head spin. Rudderpost 06:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
