Hi Stu,

Good work. Just a couple of comments:

In section 10.5 "only one iff event control" should read "only one event
control".

In section 10.7 you have correctly removed "port". The explanation of the
example was sent on Dec 10, and is repeated here:

The 'while' loop contains a delay of two clock cycles, from the 'repeat'
statement, and this determines the pipeline throughput.
Each iteration spawns a process which lasts six clock cycles, the latency
of the pipeline. The variable 'processes' keeps a count of the number of
currently active processes. The pipeline flush is not complete until this
count has fallen to zero.

Peter.
