Hi, I have the following problem with Asimut v. 4.0.6: the simulator cannot create the output file with the simulation results and the working diractoy is not protected so I cannot imagine to what this error is due. Below you will find the output generated by Asimut: initializing ... searching `vdc43` ... BEH : Compiling `vdc43.vbe` (Behaviour) ... making GEX ... searching pattern file : `vdc43` ... PAT : Warning 101 line 11 : first date field is empty => old pat format is assumed restoring ... linking ... executing ... ###----- processing pattern 0 -----### ###----- processing pattern 1 -----### ###----- processing pattern 2 -----### ###----- processing pattern 3 -----### ###----- processing pattern 4 -----### ###----- processing pattern 5 -----### ###----- processing pattern 6 -----### ###----- processing pattern 7 -----### ###----- processing pattern 8 -----### ###----- processing pattern 9 -----### ###----- processing pattern 10 -----### ###----- processing pattern 11 -----### ###----- processing pattern 12 -----### ###----- processing pattern 13 -----### ###----- processing pattern 14 -----### ###----- processing pattern 15 -----### PAT : Compiler err. 102 : cannot open file `results` Do you know to what this error may be due. Thank yo very much for your kind attention. Regards --Gianluca Cornetta
