I can help with that accuracy...  The Verilog simulator comes from
Cadence; they have an educational program which provides Cadence
products for educational use for $1000 per platform (not per
workstation -- 15 sun-4s would count as one platform) per product.  In
some cases, such as unfunded research, the fee may be waived.

Write if you need to know how to reach Cadence...
