Has anyone out there had any experience in using the CONLAN
(CONsensus LANguage) hardware description language ?
If you are working, or have worked, or even have an interest in CONLAN
please contact me directly.

CONLAN is actually both a language and a langauge development methodology.
It was developed by a multinational committee and has been documented
in the CONLAN Report (Piloty et. al, Springer-Verlag 1983).
What little applications work that I am aware of seems to have 
occured in Darmstadt and the University of Wisconsin.

I am currently trying to determine whether it will be useful in the
development of descriptive and simulation tools for special purpose
signal processing architectures.  I have a set of software support
tools from Darmstadt running but have had some problems in their usage.
I would appreciate any input in these areas.
