FIR with complex coefficients- VHDL implementation

Hi,
I took MATLAB fdatool HDL coder's VHDL code for an FIR filter
(length=8) and tried to adjust it such that it accepts complex inputs
and filter coefficients. To do this, I had to handle the real and
imaginary parts separately using (a+bi)(c+di)=(ac-bd)+(ad+bc)i.
Although there is no syntax problem, I get unknown outputs (x). I am
using Xilinx ISE Simulator. I first take reset=1 and then I take
reset=0 and exoect to get good outputs when clk_enable=1. Below is my
code. It is actually very simple. Could you please look at it and tell
me where the problem is?

USE IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;
USE IEEE.numeric_std.ALL;

Although there is no syntax problem,
Modelsim found several:

** Error: /evtfs/home/tres/vhdl/play/fir.vhd(34):
Length of expected is 16; length of actual is 9.
.... etc. etc.


I am using Xilinx ISE Simulator.
Maybe the next revision will work better.
