     Currently one popular approach to do mixed mode simulations is to
glue together analog/digital simulators by means of inter-process 
communication and some means of synchronization (eg, Viewlogic/Pspice,
Saber/Verilog etc).  Do fellow netters have any views on how well this
approach works ?

We have looked at the  PLI interface of Verilog for hooking up our proprietary
circuit simulator for mixed mode simulations and are awaiting further 
details on Verilink. However, we would be working under the constraint 
that we would not have the source code for the digital simulator. Would
this approach be feasible then ????

          Would appreciate any thoughts, ideas, pointers in this matter.
