Hi Folks,

I have recently switched from using CUPL to using Tango-PLD.  Following are
all the pc532 pal equations in the Tango-PLD format.  They are 100%
compatible with their respective CUPL cousins. All new pal equation updates
(none so far) will be in the Tango format. Also, all pal equations for the
et532 are also in the Tango format. The main advantage of Tango is that it
is a lot faster than CUPL, 10x on most things and the Espresso optimizer
does a better job in some cases. Also, the price is right ($495) as against
$1500 for CUPL. The last CUPL upgrade was $200, and since Tango offers 1 year
free upgrades and low (must be less than $200 right?) upgrades after that, I
decided to purchase Tango. It has a nice 'C' like syntax and I prefer some
of the state machine constructs (very similar to CUPL but a bit better).
It's only drawback (unless there is a better way) is that the address
decoding syntax is a bit clumsier (but more rigorous). Anyhow, here it is:
