No... it should really work...

Indeed, they belong to separate processes and cannot be manipulated from
within virtuoso.

When errset returns nil, information about the error is stored in
errset.errset (i.e in the 'errset'
property of the 'errset' symbol). Perfect example of something that is
covered as-is in the
do***entation (SKILL Language User Guide).

If you search this newsgroup for, say, dbCreateInst, you will find tons of
SKILL code and related
post. Incidentally, in a very recent thread, I suggsted to use
dbWriteSkill() to learn how to build
cellviews in SKILL. This is most relevant to you, I think.
See
http://groups.google.ch/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_frm/thread/34080929b1e2b907/fb9184c71d7d3c86?lnk=gst&q=dbWriteSkill#fb9184c71d7d3c86
To batch simulated the circuits, have a look at the OCEAN interface, a set
of SKILL function to
control simulations.
