Abstract :
The authors review the present status and current developments of the Electronic Design Interchange Format, EDIF. EDIF is now the primary mechanism for transfer of connectivity and schematic data. However, real practical problems exist and are being tackled. Some of the difficulties that have arisen are reviewed and some solutions are discussed. Some of the new ideas being developed for inclusion in the new release of EDIF (Version 2 1 0) are introduced
