The Toolbkit contains the following 4 main sub-directories:

1.  Doc - This folder contains documentation about the toolkit. Along with the instructions
	  and directions to get the toolkit operational, this folder contains powerpoint
	  slides presented to the IBIS - ATM subcommittee on the performance and ingrediants
	  of the toolkit. (Cadence_Refernce_Model_IBIS_ATM.pdf). This folder also contains
	  documentation on the models and TESTER that are included in this toolkit. 

2. Linux
   
    Models - this folder contains models delivered with the toolkit. Under this folder each	  
  	     model has its own folder								  
     a.      Src - if this folder exists than the models source code is provided along with	  
  		  its header files *and compile instructions?*  				  
     b.      Dll - this folder contains the executable model in the form of dynamically linked	  
  		  library (dll).  				  

    Tester - this folder contains the tester executable (.exe) program. Since the .exe would	  
  	     be platform specific, a folder for each supported platform would be included in	  
  	     this tester folder/directory. In addition to platform specific folders, there	  
  	     will sample files for use with the tester - Sample impulse response…		  

3. Windows
  
    Models - this folder contains models delivered with the toolkit. Under this folder each	  
  	     model has its own folder								  
     a.      Src - if this folder exists than the models source code is provided along with	  
  		  its header files *and compile instructions?*  				  
     b.      Dll - this folder contains the executable model in the form of dynamically linked	  
  		  library (dll).  				  
										  
    Tester - this folder contains the tester executable (.exe) program. Since the .exe would	  
  	     be platform specific, a folder for each supported platform would be included in	  
  	     this tester folder/directory. In addition to platform specific folders, there	  
  	     will sample files for use with the tester - Sample impulse response…		  

4.  Example_run - this folder has 2 sub folders, Linux_Test and Windows_Test. Both are example run
	     of the RX_CTF model on the 2 platforms with inputs, outputs and supporting files.
