[Comp-hist-devel] Parsech's status

[Kurt R. <ku...@ra...>]

Since there's been a bit of confusion recently about the status of parsech, I thought that it might be a good idea for me to share my viewpoint on what needs doing:

1.  Parsech doesn't use the date data in its VCG output.  In other words, the transistor and the Tera MTA are on the same level, even though they were not created at the same time.

2.  The most recent version of parsech in CVS broke support for shapes in VCG output, so now all entries are boxes.  This isn't the way it used to be, so obviously something's changed that broke shape support.

Scott, I'm not trying to minimize your efforts on parsech, I'm simply trying to summarize what needs to be done.
