-- This example shows an inefficient way of describing a counter. 
-- vhdl model of a 3-state counter illustrating the use
-- of the WAIT statement to suspend a process.At each wait
-- statement the simulation time is updated one cycle,transferring 
-- the driver value to the output count.
-- This architecture shows that there is no difference between
-- WAIT UNTIL (clock'EVENT AND clock = '1') and WAIT UNTIL clock = '1'
