To install these hotfixes, copy them to your Cadence root directory,
then uncompress and tar extract each one.  (If you have sourced an
appropriate Cadence setup file for your system, you can determine what
your Cadence root directory is by typing "cds_root"):

   uncompress <archive_name>.t.Z
   tar xvf <archive_name>.t



NOTE:  these hotfixes include complete Concept, Synergy and Verilog
interface support for the 2K, 3K, 4K and 7K architectures as well.


Also NOTE:  You should download the patch version as specified above, or
the later revision of it.

LATER Revision = either a higher revision number (e.g., p005 instead of
p004), a higher release number (e.g. 97A vs. 96.04), or an s (special)
rather than a p (production).
