+  *  Here we have the canonical "Hello, World" program written in Verilog,

+  *  the hello_vpi.c program also in this directory. See the
+  *  hello_vpi.c for instructions on how to compile it.
+  *
+  *  Compile this program with the command:
+  *
+  *      iverilog -ohello_vpi hello_vpi.vl
+  *
+  *  After churning for a little while, the program will create the output
+  *  file "hello" which is compiled, linked and ready to run. Run this
+  *  program like so:
+  *
+  *      vvp -M. -mhello_vpi hello_vpi
+  *
+  *  and the program will print the message to its output. Easy! For
+  *  more on how to make the iverilog command work, see the iverilog
