Subject: My Design's Very Small & I'm Looking For Cheap-But-Good ATPG

Hi John,

Long time no email.  I am now at a small company having left the "Bat Wing"
palace and am in need of a "cheap but good" ATPG tool. 

Do any of your many well educated and knowledgeable readers have some
cheaper ATPG tools to recommend?  I won't be generating scan for a million
gate ASIC so a small tool would work nicely.  We can't afford the Mentor,
Cadence, or Synopsys products, and our design is small.  Right now I'm
working on a very small, specialized design that's only 7 kgates.  I don't
need to buy a $300K suite of tools for this.  Ideas?
