Initial value on ports

hi,

is there some way how to define an initial value of an output in verilog
?

....something similar as initial value of a signal in VHDL:
a : std_logic := '1';


There is a need for mixed-signal simulation, to have defined digital
initial values before the simulation starts. It would help the analog
simulator
to define the initial conditions.

Thanks,
Marek
