Problem Title:
PLD_DVE/PLD_DVE_Sim 5.x appears to hang


Problem Description:
If Men2XNF8 will hang during pld_dve, and Fncsim8/Timsim8 will hang during
pld_dve_sim, if the $MGC_WD environment variable is not set or is set
improperly.  PLD_DVE and PLD_DVE_Sim do not understand a "blank" MGC_WD
variable, even though Mentor programs do.


Solution 1:

Set the MGC_WD variable properly.  For example:

   setenv MGC_WD /home/tony/wants/an/acura/nsx

allows you to process designs underneath the directory
/home/tony/wants/an/acura/nsx.	If you want Mentor to behave as if the
MGC_WD variable were not set, use:

   setenv MGC_WD .

(Note the period at the end of the command.)
