John,
Check out: http://www.chronology.com/support/appnotes.html
They recently added an app note for "Using Portable Models with Renoir".
The way I have been doing it is a method they don't mention in their
applets. I create a Renoir library that contains a "wrapper" component
which is just an "VHDL architecture" that instantiates the QB model
and a Renoir "standard library" into which the QB stuff gets compiled.
This prevents other users from having to know the path to the compiled
library in order to do a foreign instantiation. It also got around the
bug in which Renoir could not parse QB files.
