- If you've already decided on Mentor's schematic editor then you would probably
- do well to limit your choices to Mentor and Synopsys. However, if you're
- not limited to their schematic editor, then you might wish to look at Viewlogic's
- new VHDL simulator. The Synopsys->Viewlogic path is very good, better than
- the Synopsys->Mentor. Viewlogic also has the advantage of having just aquired
- Vantage Systems, who supposedly have the best _compiled_ VHDL simulator.
