What are these files?

One of my complilations requires the following Cadence files:
virtuos97B/lib/virtuos.a
virtuos98A/lib/virtuos.a

I have no idea what are these and what's their functions?

What are these files?

In general in C compilers conventions files with .a extensions are archives for normal libraries (static),
.sa (shared archives) for shared libraries.
I don't know exactly, but i think that virtuos says virtual operating system (i'm not sure).
Anyway, if u have problem with these files u should mention the error msgs.
