Some of you were inquiring about Genesis2 mode for emacs. It's far from perfect, but if you want to try it out, here's the 4-1-1:
Setting Genesis2 Mode for Emacs/Xemacs at Stanford
If you use emacs or xemacs and would like to use genesis2-mode, run the "mmm-install.csh" command, which will install new code in your .emacs and/or
.xemacs/init.el file(s):
% $CHIPGEN/elisp/mmm-install.csh
To activate Genesis2 mode you'll need to restart emacs or at least re-read the updated init file. Now, when you open a file with a Genesis2 extension (e.g. "myfile.vp"), this will automatically put you in Genesis2 mode. Perl regions should parse as Perl and Verilog as Verilog. The TAB character (^I) should indent the current line or region according to its mode (Perl or Verilog).
If you don't like genesis2 mode, you can just as easily make .vp files open in verilog mode, in which case perl lines will simply appear as comments.
==== In case of failure ====
Check your emacs init file(s) "~/.emacs" and/or "~/.xemacs/init.el" file to see if the following code got added correctly at the end. Particularly check to see that the correct directory was added in place of "/home/mydir/myPerforcePath/ChipGen/elisp" and that e.g. "/home/mydir/myPerforcePath/ChipGen/elisp/mmm-genesis2-mode-init.el" exists is
readable.

;; If you have trouble with quotes and indents in Perl regions, ;; try turning the following features on or off: ;; (fixquote-off-srmmm) ;; (Default is ON). ;; (fixindent-on-srmmm) ;; (Default is OFF).
