Development of schematic capture support for FHDL

A user-friendly graphical interface to the Florida hardware design language (FHDL), the schematic capture program, is presented. It was designed primarily to interact with FHDL by incorporating into the design of the graphics package the capabilities for producing FHDL descriptions of circuits. The system is window based and entirely menu driven. User interaction takes place through a set of walking menus or through the mouse. Keyboard input is used to label circuits and to name files that contain circuit descriptions. The development and implementation of the program are discussed
