Jez , is that comparitively easier to use I mean they say on site [B] " LeonardoSpectrum from Mentor Graphics combines push-button ease of use with the powerful control and optimization features associated with workstation-based ASIC tools. Users faced with design challenges can access advanced synthesis controls within LeonardoSpectrum's exclusive PowerTabs. In addition, the powerful debugging features and exclusive five-way cross-probing in LeonardoInsight accelerate your analysis of synthesis results. " [/B]

Could you please give me some picture as to how the things are going as compared to our compilers ('51) and development tools .
