Problem Title:
NGD2VHDL, NGD2VER, NGD2XNF: ERROR:basut:79 - File system full!


Problem Description:
Keywords: full, 79, ERROR:basut:79, ngd2ver, ngd2vhdl, ngd2xnf

Urgency: Standard

General Description:  During simulation netlist creation (ngd2ver,
		      ngd2vhdl, ngd2xnf), the following error may occur:

		      ERROR:basut:79 - File system full!


Solution 1:

There are two root causes of this error.  Either the project drive really
is full or the drive where the temporary directory is located is full.
The simulation netlist writers, writes the output netlist to a temporary
file, and only copies it to the real output name if no errors or problems
occur.

If this error occurs, first check to be sure there is enough space on the
project drive.	The project drive should have adequate space for the
writing of the project file.  This amount is dependent on the size device
being targeted.

From Windows 95 or NT, this may be done either from File Manager,
Explorer, or the DOS prompt (using the DIR command).

From UNIX this may be done with the following command :

df <project_directory>

If there appears to be adequate space, check the amount of space in
the temporary directory drive.

For Windows 95 users, this is determined from the TEMP variable in the
autoexec.bat file.

For Windows NT user, it is determined by the TEMP variable defined in
the System Variables or User Variables for the system.	If both are
defined, the User Variable takes presidence.

For UNIX users, the location of the temporary file is determined by
the tempnam system call.  By default, the Solaris tempnam will use the
/var/tmp directory, which may have considerably less space than your
standard partition.  You can override the use of the default directory
by setting the environment variable TMPDIR to an alternate directory
with more space availible.
