To IBIS Committee:

I have uploaded the approved IBIS Version 3.0 specification to
vhdl.org under /pub/ibis/ver3.0/ver3_0.ibs (also ver3_0.txt).
Please destroy any prior versions you may have obtained under
the wip directory since they are not valid.

IBIS Version 3.0 was ratified at the June 12, 1997 EIA/IBIS
