Hi John,

Couldn't help notice this post in ESNUG on getting toggle info out of VCS.

Cadence supplies the source code for a toggle test PLI application free on
their Verilog-XL and NC-Verilog installation CDs.  The original purpose of
this to was to provide PLI examples such that people could get a head start
with PLI.  However, the toggle test routines proved invaluable as a basis
for power estimation applications and stuff like that. 

Assuming Zoran has a copy of Verilog-XL they may want to check out the
example directories.  These routines use standard PLI so they should work
fine with most of the regular Verilog simulators.
