Problem Title:
Foundation F1.3, Logic Simulator: Simulator will hang if status line
hasbeen deselected



Problem Description:
Keywords: Simulator, hang, status, F1.3, freeze

Urgency:   Standard

General Description:

The Foundation Logic Simulator used to load the
netlist properly, however it now hangs with a grey
background showing.  Only the Netlist Loading window
and Menu selections appear.  Clicking on "Cancel" has
no affect either.


Solution 1:

This occurs if either intentionally or inadvertently,
the status line was deselected from the Logic Simulator
Menu:

View -> Status Line


The workaround is the following:

1) Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Windows NT Security

   Click on Task Manager
   Select the Logic Simulator and click on End Task

2) Go to the Foundation Project Manager

   File -> Configuration -> View Ini File (Susie.ini)
   Search -> Find -> enter in "status"

3) In the [Simulator] section, you should find the following:

   Status Bar=Off

4) Manually edit this to read:

   Status Bar=On

5) Save -> Exit -> OK

The Logic Simulator should now load properly when invoked.


*NOTE: This issue has been resolved in Foundation F1.4
