Problem Title:
ORCAD: DS32-VST-ERROR-030,  symbol  has incomplete pin information.


Problem Description:
When running XNF2VST an error similar to the following occurrs:
DS32-VST-ERROR-030
The symbol 'FDRE' has incomplete pin information.



Solution 1:

This error can occur if the user attempts to run XNF2VST on an
unflattened XNF file.  The correct flow for OrCAD is the following(assuming no x
blox):

annotate design.sch -> updates reference designators in     schematic
inet design.sch     -> design.inf netlist files
sdt2xnf design.inf  -> design.xnf netlist files
xnfmerge design.xnf -> design.xff netlist files
		       (flattened XNF netlist)
xnf2vst design.xff ->  design.vst
		       (VST simulation netlist)

Or, have the customer use XSIMMAKE and let it figure out what steps to run.

Since we use a flattened netlist as the input to XNF2VST, it
should never see any macros, such as an FDRE.
