Cadence is the main umbrella program, with calls to other simulators (Agilent, 
Ansoft) besides the built in spectre. We utilize Design Kits from other other 
vendors (IBM, Triquint, etc) which makes for an interesting challenge where one 
vendors program has to call another vendor's program, and incorporate 
extensions from a third provider.

Then there are the OEMed versions of Cadence (AMIS, TI, etc). You can see how 
training inviolving what the user actually sees onscreen would help.
 
FWIW, your suggestion also happens to be our intended approach, i.e., a mix of 
screen shots and  video vignettes on a Powerpunt style slide, loadable in OO.

One LOPSA member already steered me away from XVidCap, so now I'm looking at 
Istanbul and the Byzans(sic?).

Thank you.
