A while ago some one posted info on Gabriel, a public domain dsp
package.  Could some repost the info?

Steve Jaffe (and other interested people):

Gabriel is a block diagram programming environment for DSP developed here
at Berkeley.  It can simulate block diagram DSP designs, generate assembly
code for the Motorola DSP56000 and DSP96000 processors, and automatically
perform parallel scheduling if multiple processors are available.  It's not
public domain, although it is distributed free via FTP to Internet sites or
for about $200 on tape, once you sign some license agreements.  It runs on
Sun 3s and Sun 4s running SunOS 4.0.3, 4.1, or 4.1.1, and requires X windows
to be used in its full configuration.

If you're on the Internet, you can ftp to copernicus.Berkeley.EDU (IP address
128.32.240.37), log in as "anonymous", any password, and get the files
"gabriel-overview" and "gabriel-release-info".  If they look interesting,
grab the file "gabriel-license.shar", print the license out, sign them, and
return them to U.C. Berkeley.  We'll then send you account and password info
that will allow you to get the actual Gabriel distribution.

If you don't have access to Internet FTP, you'll have to pay money to get
the distribution on tape.  The cost is about $200 from the Industrial Liaison
Program Software Office, 479 Cory Hall, EECS Dept., University of California,
Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, email "ilpsoft@janus.Berkeley.EDU".

The following reference is a good overview of Gabriel:

	Bier, Goei, Ho, Lapsley, O'Reilly, Sih, and Lee,
	"Gabriel: A Design Environment for DSP",
	IEEE Micro Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 5, Oct. 1990, pp. 28-45.

Questions should be sent to "gabriel@janus.Berkeley.EDU".

Has anyone ported this code to the NeXT machine ?  This seems like a natural 
since each and every one has a 56K embedded within it.
