Freqeuently Asked Questions for DOS products

1. Why does sve fail with the following error?

   S0003 : Could not find any fonts.

   This is because it could not find the font files. Most likely, this is due to not properly seting the DOS variable VHDLPATH. It must be set to the lib subdirectory of the installation. For example, if you have installed the compiler in c:\gmvhdl then use the following command:

   set VHDLPATH=c:\gmvhdl\lib

   You must do this every time the computer is booted, or alternatively you can add the above command to your autoexec.bat file. VHDLPATH should contain only DOS filenames; do not use Win95/NT long filenames.

2. Why can't vhdl find the library files?

   Verify the VHDLPATH variable with the following command:

   set

   This command will list all variables and should include the current value of VHDLPATH. If it is not set properly see question #1. Otherwise, make sure it does not contain any Win95/NT long filenames. The VHDLPATH must contain only DOS filenames.
