Hi Greg,
I have the same problem.
We used the ASCII HKP format to drive our netlist translator.
In the old days it was ASCII and everything was working.
In EE2007.5 Mentor switched to encrypted HKP but you could get a Encrypt/Decrypt license for free. So it was working.
Last year we switched to EE7.9.5. and now to VX.1.1 and the Mentor solution is to write scripts to get output.
I also cannot write scripts and I'm having the same problem you have.
I'm also not so happy about this .
