Subject: Dissimular Libs Affecting ASIC to FPGA Technology Translation?

John,

I have a design that was originally entered schematically with Viewlogic and
was translated by Synopsys from a Toshiba 1.0 micron library to VTI653 ASIC
technology.

I want to hardware emulate it in large Altera or Xilinx FPGA's. How can I do 
a Synopsys technology translation between such dissimilar libraries ?  (The
goal is to get hardware emulation working, then begin coding the hierarchical
blocks into Verilog HDL, and synthesize and emulate until we have a completely
architecture independent Verilog design.)
