WIR2XNF:Error-V (version) statement not unique, out of order or missing

Product Version: 5.2

Problem Title:
WIR2XNF:Error-V (version) statement not unique, out of order or missing


Problem Description:
If wir files from a unix system are used in a PC, the lower case names in the
wir file can cause this error:

Error - V (version number) statement not unique, out of order, or missing in
wire file lc_pci:tree
pci_top.xnf:WIR2XNF ERROR 4: Internal initialization failure : WIR file
reading failed

Here is a unix version of a wir file:

| Wirelist created using version 4.09.
V 4.09
K 1815271080 tree   <-------------
DW tree 	     <-------------
SA @SHEET=1
SA @NAME=tree
W lc_pci:BAR_INFO $1I4
I $1I4 lc_pci:BAR_INFO
EW

And the PC version:

| Wirelist created using version 4.09.
V 4.09
K 1815271080 TREE   <-------------
DW TREE 	     <-------------
SA @SHEET=1
SA @NAME=tree
W lc_pci:BAR_INFO $1I4
I $1I4 lc_pci:BAR_INFO
EW

Note the differences in the case of the name "tree".


Solution 1:

The solution is simple; re "check" the whole design (this will re-write the
wir files) and the problem should go away. If the wir files are in a
read-only directory, change the directory to writable and then check the
project. Reset the read-only attribute when finished.
