[HA-General] Synthesis tool Q&A

FYI 
===================

I have worked with FPGA using the Xilinx ISE and Verilog. Now I want to
work with a synthesis tool like Synopsys to learn more about the timing
paths etc.

But it is difficult to get acces to these tools. Can somebody point me
to any way that I can practice basic synopsys scripting and synthesize
small circuits to start learning this tool. Is there a small 'demo'
account available for Synopsys.

I guess this will be difficult to get, in which case, can somebody
please point me to any other freely available (or shareware) tool where
I can learn the basics of synthesis. I already HAVE FPGA synthesis
tools, I am looking for something ASIC.

All help will be really appreciated
Brian

Check this tool ; It is called Alliance and it has a complete ASIC flow
with available open libraries. It doesn't take verilog ; it works on
VHDL but u can try it ..
Thanks
