See solution 5153 for mor information: http://www.xilinx.com/techdocs/5153.htm Solution 1: The update file containing the new speed grades is: Solaris: ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_sol4.tar.gz HP-UX: ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_hp4.tar.gz NT: ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_nt4.zip If you are experiencing the MSVCRT.DLL issue, an alternative NT fix is available: NT: ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_nt4a.zip This file should be re-installed if the A1.5 Service Pack is installed. NOTE - Some files that are replaced are marked as read-only. This is correct. Some older versions of pkunzip will give only give a warning message in the log file and will not replace the specified files. It is best to use a program such as Winzip which can be downloaded at http://www.winzip.com . End of Record #4544 - Last Modified: 03/18/99 15:36
