Thanks very much for the kind words!

Perhaps you can ask the professor for who has the copyright on ABEL now? So we can ask the holder if it can be open sourced.

Miracles like this do happen - last year Symantec allowed the Symantec C++ compiler to be fully open sourced!

Walter - appears Xilinx are the current copyright holder and ABEL was last supported in the XILINX 10.1 ISE toolset released circa 2008 (Current release is 14.7). Introductory guide can still be found here: https://bit.ly/2NfkLWq

This is the URL behind the shortened link:

Thanks, I'll contact them and see what they have to say.
