-- DESCRIPTION:
--     This package provides tailorable entities for a particular
--     implementation.  Each entity may be modified to suit the needs
--     of the implementation.  Default values are provided to act as
--     a guide.
--
--     The entities in this package are those which are used exclusively
--     in tests for Annex G (Numerics).
-- 
-- APPLICABILITY CRITERIA:
--     This package is only required for implementations validating the
--     Numerics Annex.
-- 
-- CHANGE HISTORY:
--     29 Jan 96   SAIC    Initial version for ACVC 2.1.
