abnormal program termination 
 
 
Solution 1: 
 
Problem seems to be the input EDIF file.  The EDIF file is 
using '.' (dot) extensions.  This currently causes problems 
with M1.3.7. 
 
Example of INVALID EDIF entry: 
 
(instance (rename Test_SCH "Test.SCH") 
            (viewRef NetlistView 
              (cellRef Test))) 
 
The current workaround is to edit the EDIF file by changing 
the dots '.' to underscores '_'.  The input EDIF file 
should run successfully. 
 
For the above example, the "Test.SCH" should be changed to 
"TEST_SCH" as shown below: 
 
  (instance (rename Test_SCH "Test_SCH") 
            (viewRef NetlistView 
              (cellRef Test)))
