+NAME
+  bat -- a B Squared Logic to ABEL translator
+
+SYNOPSIS
+  bat [-h help] [chip_type] [filename]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+  BAT takes valid EDF files (As produced by the BLT/MOSIS compatible B
+  Squared Logic Program) and converts them to ABEL HDL code.
+
+AUTHORS
+  BAT was designed and implemented by Jamie Quint and Ian Tagge.
+
+B^2 Logic Requirements
+  BAT 1.0 is designed to work only with the BLT version of 
+  B^2 Logic 3.0, available at The University of Portland.
+
+Design Considerations
+  *Inputs and Outputs
+    B^2 Logic's EDF netlist does not make any distinction between 
+    active low input pad and active high input pads.  Thus, all 
+    input pads are assumed to be active high.  It is up to the 
+    designer to include inverters in the circuit itself, or assume 
+    that the inverted external signals will be available.
+  *Names of Input Pads
+    Output pads and clocks must not contain any spaces or special 
+    characters.  Valid names include only standard alphanumeric 
+    characters (A..Z, a..z, 0..9).
+
+BUFZ Implementation Details:
+  If a BUFZ is used in a circuit, only the first (top) buffer 
+  on the BUFZ instance may be used.  This is consistent with BLT 
+  implementation.  One external pin is consumed per BUFZ and 
+  appears as instXpin in the final ABEL code.  Tristated signals 
+  within the circuit will appear as an open input when in high 
+  impedance mode.  Given this situation on CMOS technology, the 
+  signal will actually float to low rather than remain high 
+  impedance, as is typical of of any inputs that are left

+  impedance signal internal to the circuit (this is only achieved
