( ESNUG 320 Item 1 ) ---------------------------------------------- [6/2/99]

Subject: WARNING! Don't Switch To DC 99.05 Tcl Just Yet! Inconsistancy Bug!

John,

I thought I would pass this on the the rest of the ESNUG community to
proactively warn anyone doing dc_shell to Tcl conversions.  I ported my
dc_shell synthesis environment to the Synopsys 99.05 just to begining
learning Tcl.  I ran the dc_shell environment as well as the Tcl
environment on the same design and compared the results.  Guess what?  I
got different results!

Synopsys has confirmed that there is a problem, so users might want to
wait before porting their environment to Tcl.
