Problem Title:
Design Manager 6.0.1: Error - "Cannot find input design. Please specify
an existing design"



Problem Description:
Keywords: design, manager, input, find

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
After selecting an input design in the Design Manager, the following
warning will be issued:

"Cannot find input design. Please specify an existing design"

The XACTstep 6.0.1 software only supports file names that follow
the DOS naming conventions "8 characters.3 characters".  This
convention is still  followed when operating under Win 95.


Solution 1:

Change all input file names and any directory or directory
path names such that they follow the 8.3 naming convention.
