Subject: Dedicated Scan Out "test_output_only" Fails In DFT Compiler 99.10

Hi John,

This is to caution users who are interested in using the dedicated scan-out
"test_output_only" in DFT Compiler 99.10.  It does not work.  The problem
is that DC 99.10 still uses the dedicated scan-out pins with an attribute
of test_output_only in .lib for non-scan (or functional) purposes, although
we modeled the scan cells exactly according to what Synopsys required.
Synopsys has been working on it since 4/26, and the issue is still open.
