Subject: How Can I Put Text Strings In DBs Made By Library Compiler ?

Dear John,

Has anybody discovered a way to compile text strings into a db library
with Library Compiler?  We have groups within Ford who we make custom
db libs for.  We have engineers run off with a db lib, make a chip, and
then they come back asking: "Did that db lib use the XYZ spice data?"
or "Was the 1-2-3 bug fixed with that db lib we used?"  I can't, nor
can my db lib "customers", currently just use Design Compiler to look
at the db to find text strings that I'd like to put into db libs that
contain comments / text strings about revs, date created, bugs fixed,
spice assumptions, etc.   I suppose you could create some kind of phoney
model with ascii encoded "delays", but I'd like to know if there's a
better way to do this.
