Subject: Script To Call Synopsys On-Line Help W/O Tying Up A Licence

Hi John,

I don't know if this was discussed before, but a while back I got tired of
typing the explicit path to the Synopsys On-Line help (and chewing up a
Synopsys license just to start the help viewer).  Anyway, I thought this
script might come in handy to others; it's not much but it works.

  #!/bin/csh -f
  set ileaf = iview1/bin/iview
  if (${?SYNOPSYS} == 0) then
    set root = $0
    set root = ${root:h}
    set root = ${root:h}
    set root = ${root:h}
    set root = ${root:h}
  else
    set root = ${SYNOPSYS}
  endif
  set viewer = ${root}/${ileaf}
  ${viewer}

It should optimally be installed in the user's ${SYNOPSYS}/${ARCH}/syn/bin
directory.
