DESCRIPTION
       flatbeh synthetize a VHDL behavioral data-flow description from a structural description. It flattens the structural description (it can be
       a hierarchy of macro block) until the cells which have a behavioral description. Then it raise all the equations and  create  a	behavioral
       description of the root file.

PARAMETERS
       root_structural_file is the filename of the root of the structural description file.

       output_file is the destination filename for behavioural description.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       MBK_CATA_LIB	   list of directories containing descriptions.  The default path is the current directory (see mbk(1)).

       MBK_CATAL_NAME	   Indicates  the file where the behavioral description files are given. This serves to flatbeh to stop the flatten of the
			   structural root circuit.(see mbk(1))

       MBK_IN_LO	   file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))

EXAMPLE
       flatbeh adder_32
