I would like to acknowledge certain individuals for their help in making Covered the tool that it is today.
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Ed Spittles - Thank you for your tireless efforts in logging bugs, providing suggestions on enhancements/optimizations (including
the tip on using of FIFOs to replace VCD/LXT2/FST file usage), your input into scoring optimizations for vectors and CDD ranking, and
for allowing me access to needed information for fixing those "hard to reproduce" bugs.
</p></li><li><p>
Clifford E. Cummings - provided race condition checking rules and clarifications about those rules.
</p></li><li><p>
Stephen Williams - Thanks for helping me understand some of the ins and outs of what's required "under the hood" to handle some of
Verilog's constructs.
</p></li><li><p>
Daniel McMahill - testing and patches for 64-bit compatibility

If you have read this user's guide, chances are that you might be a Covered user. As such, it is encouraged that any bugs that you might
find while using Covered get reported so that this project may become more stable for yourself and for other users. To submit a bug report
or a request for enhancement, you may either send an e-mail to Trevor Williams (see <a href="chapter.epilogue.html#section.epi.author" title="32.1. Author">Section 32.1, “Author”</a> or, if you have
a SourceForge login, can report a bug by going to:
</p><p>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/covered" target="_top">http://sourceforge.net/projects/covered</a>
</p><p>
and clicking on the "Bugs" link.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="section.epi.mailing.list"></a>32.4. Mailing List</h2></div></div></div><p>
The Covered project has a user mailing list. Whenever there are stable releases being made of the project, an e-mail will get sent out
to this list stating the new release is available. Additionally, the mailing list is a great way to bring up usability issues with
the tool and, of course, bugs. The mailing list can also be useful if you have a question about using Covered -- there is probably
someone else who has encountered the same problem that might be able to provide you with some help.

This program is distributed under the GNU Public License GPL.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="section.epi.license.gnu"></a>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</h3></div></div></div><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Version 2, June 1991</em></span>
</p><p>
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="section.epi.license.gnu.preamble"></a>Preamble</h4></div></div></div><p>
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for
all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
</p><p>
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive
source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
</p><p>
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
</p><p>
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the
rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms
so they know their rights.
</p><p>
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
</p><p>
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they
have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
</p><p>
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a
free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made
it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
</p><p>
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="section.epi.license.gnu.terms"></a>Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution, and Modification</h4></div></div></div><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
[0.] This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below, refers to any such program
or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that
is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term ``modification''.) Each
licensee is addressed as ``you''.
</p><p>
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true
depends on what the Program does.
</p></li><li><p>
[1.] You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
</p><p>
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
</p></li><li><p>
[2.] You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
[a.] You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
any change.
</p></li><li><p>
[b.] You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the
Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
</p></li><li><p>
[c.] If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running
for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that
users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based
on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
</p><p>
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
</p><p>
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
</p></li><li><p>
[3.] You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
[a.] Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
</p></li><li><p>
[b.] Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more
than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
</p></li><li><p>
[c.] Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or
executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition
files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with
the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
</p><p>
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
</p></li><li><p>
[4.] You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
</p></li><li><p>
[5.] You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Program or works based on it.
</p></li><li><p>
[6.] Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
</p></li><li><p>
[7.] If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as
to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way
you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
</p><p>
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the
section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
</p><p>
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions
to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it
is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice.
</p><p>
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
</p></li><li><p>
[8.] If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
</p></li><li><p>
[9.] The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
</p><p>
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which
applies to it and ``any later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version
or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
</p></li><li><p>
[10.] If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to
the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
generally.
</p><p></p><p></p><p>
NO WARRANTY
</p></li><li><p>
[11.] BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
``AS IS'' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
OR CORRECTION.
</p></li><li><p>
[12.] IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
</p><p>
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
</p><p>
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where
the full notice is found.
