VPI is sometimes called PLI-2. It is the way to go. The book
"The Verilog PLI Handbook" by Stuart Sutherland is _the_ reference,
you can also get some clues by looking in the vpi/ directory of
the Icarus Verilog source.  All the system tasks and functions
are written using VPI.

ouch. Knowledge is expensive. At 20% off list price it is "only" $126 at amazon. doh!



My copy was donated;-)

Plan-B is to get tips from the vpi/ directory of the source, where
all the code is written in C and uses the VPI. It's maybe a little
opaque that way, though:-(

Spent some quality time with one of the cadence manuals last night and got it working.


Thanks for you help!
