Subject: Synthesis with Altera RAM Instances

Hi.  I have no experience with Altera rams, but from question I can guess
that the command you should try in order to read the ram is:

       update_lib <altera library name> syn_ram_8x14_irou.lib

You can find out the library name using 'list -libraries' command.

Thank you!  This "update_lib" command is exactly what I needed.  Later I
found it in an Altera app note.
