John,
After you apply the constraints to the design in PT, you can write them back
out in DT format:
pt_shell> write_script -format dcsh -output somefile
You can also write out the characterized constraints for a sub-block:
pt_shell> characterize_context u1
pt_shell> write_context -format dcsh -output somefile u1
There is no script available that will translate a PT script to DT syntax
(however most of the commands are very similar).
One thing to note is that in the 1999.05 release of DC (to be released on
February 22, 1999), DC will offer you either the old dc_shell, or a new TCL
based shell. This will make it much easier to move scripts between tools.
