AMS  v3.50 Design Kit 

The following two commands will initialize and start cadence. Use an empty directory the
first time.

> source ~amslibs/v3.50/ams_setup
> ams_cds -mode fb -tech c35b4

The first command sets up the search path and defines necessary environment variables.
This has to be done in every window from which you are going to run any Cadence tool.

The 'ams_cds' command builds several starup files the first time it is run. These files will
be placed both in your current- and home directory. The parameter to the 'tech' option
initializes the directory to the  selected process.

The selections will be stored in the setup files and in the future only '-mode fb' is required
as argument. This also means that the directory is locked to the selected process and an-
other catalog has to be chosen for work with a different technology.
