gEDA-user: Re: gEDA: Pre-Alpha-1 Release of Icarus Verilog Interactive

["Robbie (Rohit) Nadig" <nadig@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu>]

Hi Matthew,

I've used iverilog for a while and have wanted to help.
Your effort seems like an area for me to dive right in.

Is there someway I can contribute to your effort ?

thanks,
rohit
