The Foundation Service Pack upgrades Xilinx Foundation v6.0.1 to v6.0.2.  This
upgraded version features many enhancements that make the Foundation tools
easier to use and will increase your productivity.

Full details on the improvements in the Service Pack can be found in the
"What's New" help files.  These files are installed along with the Service
Pack, or you can download them separately.  For information on the Project
Manager, Schematic Editor, and Simulator, download (Xilinx File

improvements in the XVHDL compiler, download (Xilinx File

The Service Pack consists of several files, which are available on the Xilinx
FTP site and this AppLINX CD-ROM:
