<<I was told that Apollo is a renamed old tool from a competitor's application engineer.>> I don't know the details of Apollo, but I would suspect that Avant! would be more careful in developing it. I recently attended a conference in which one company is using a genetic programming algorithm to optimize the placement and routing step. As someone mentioned a while back, the big advances in EDA software will most likely come from new companies. I don't expect too much from Avant! or Cadence in the near future. Peter
