Years ago (12 or 13?), the save=none option was added primarily for
mixed-signal 
simulations (spectreVerilog) where you really only wanted to look at the
digital 
signals. It was hard because of the way that the code was structured to
turn it 
off altogether, so a "random" signal was output just to avoid having to
over
complicate the output routines.

Since then, there are many more ways of outputting information from
spectre - 
e.g. Verilog-A models, SpectreMDL, Spectre's print statement - that having
a proper "no output" switch made more sense.

The save=nooutput was added in MMSIM61.

Regards,

Andrew.
