GTKWave is a fully featured GTK+ v1.2 based wave viewer for Unix and Win32 which reads Ver Structural Verilog Compiler generated AET files as well as standard Verilog VCD/EVCD files and allows their viewing.
GtkWave is veri well done, but surprisely I may prefer the older version (wave 1.2 I believe) to the latest (July 2002) gtkwave (2.0).
There are several reasons.One the colorrs, the other the lack of data update when moving the time marker...
But I have to say that after a tedious install, the result is very good for both versions.
I have used the vcd file generated by icarus verilog, 0.6 I believe, which is quite good.
The documentation for Icarus Verilog and Gkwave is not the greatest, but I should not complain: just write it!
I would warmly recommend the combination Icarus Verilog and Gtkwave.

GTKWAVE is a simple to use waveform viewer and is excellent for viewing verilog Value Change Dump (VCD) files.
