Actually, to be honest, in logic design the term assert would be more correct in reference to signals. And technical literature actually uses de-assert/deassert very frequently. One speaks of the raising and falling edge when the signal gets asserted and deasserted. [And logic companies such as Xilinx, Intel, LSILogic, Cypress, Analog Devices and the like all use this form.] Just to be really anal here. :) *ducks* -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven / Asmodai / Kita no Mono asmodai@[wxs.nl|[freebsd|xmach].org], finger asmodai@ninth-circle.dnsalias.net http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ What's in a name?
