Subject: Library Compiler Won't Take Discharge Cells

Hello John,

I have a problem/challenge - how to "feed" Library Compiler with discharge
cells?  As it was proposed in the course -- the general direction is to
define it as an ITS module.  I've been searching in the openbook ("Synopsys
On-Line Docs") for an example of discharge cells but I found none.

I would really appriciate if someone could send me an example of ITS format
with the required timing arcs (I mean the names/kinds of arcs -- not the
numbers) for a discharge cell.  Here is an example of a typical circuit:

                +---o NOUT
                |
                |
          EN---||
                |
                |---------+
           A---||         |
                |    B---||        
                |         |
                |         |
                |    C---||
                |         |
                |         |
                \/        \/

Let's say that the EN input is clock or "something & clock"
