+ ABC is a growing software system for synthesis and verification of
+binary sequential logic circuits appearing in synchronous hardware
+designs. ABC combines scalable logic optimization based on
+And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs), optimal-delay DAG-based technology
+mapping for look-up tables and standard cells, and innovative
+algorithms for sequential synthesis and verification.
+
+ ABC provides an experimental implementation of these algorithms
+and a programming environment for building similar applications.
+Future development will focus on improving the algorithms and making
+most of the packages stand-alone. This will allow the user to
+customize ABC for their needs as if it were a tool-box rather than
+a complete tool.
