Andrew Beckett's program to write waveforms to an ASCII file

[Cliff Curry]

This program by Andrew Beckett <andrewb@DELETETHISBITcadence.com>
is very useful.

Make a file with this text in it... named "waveout.il"
At the CIW prompt, type load("waveout.il")
Then, to create a file of your waveform data, at the CIW prompt,
type abWriteOutputASCII("filename").

Thank you very much Andrew!
