Problem Title:
XSIMMAKE may hang up while running CHECK if viewdraw.ini has invalid
library



Problem Description:
XSimMake, when running the Viewlogic Check program, may 'hang' if a
directory listed in the viewdraw.ini file does not exist.


Solution 1:

What is really happening is that Check is asking:

  Line 172:  DIR [r] /products/testarea/sparc/...
  Directory does not exist.  Do you want to create it (y/n)?

and is waiting for a response.	XSimMake does not display
this output It will appear to have 'hung' at Check.

Whenever XSimMake "hangs" at Check, make sure that all directories listed in
the viewdraw.ini exist before running XSimMake again.
