On an Autologic-synthesized schematic, PLD_DVE_BA (in Timsim8) may
give a warning similar to:

   # WARNING: Unknown design object: /LA_BOUCHE/I1101S$37$5

The warning may repeat several times for the same design object.

Older versions of Autologic may write out percent signs (%) in their
instance names.  Although this is legal in Mentor schematics, it is
NOT legal in Xilinx netlists.  To remedy this, EDIF2XNF changes each
"%" in a netlist to "$37$" (so used because 37 is the ASCII code for
the percent sign).  Unfortunately, the Mentor back-annotation file is
written with this change, so that I1101S$37$5 in the MBA file does not
match up with the true I1101S%5 in the schematic.

In the $LCA/com/sparc (or $LCA/com/hppa) directory is a script called
mbapp.nawk.  This NAWK script is run during the Timsim8 flow to rewrite a
Mentor back-annotation file into a more compact form.  Since this script
rewrites the MBA file, it can be used to change MBA netnames as needed.

This script has been modified as included in this archive to change
the $37$'s back to %'s, so that the offending names in the back-
annotation file correspond to those in the front end.  Have a network
administrator replace the old mbapp.nawk file with the new one
included here.  Once this is done, rerun Timsim8 and the process
should run smoothly.
