Hi all,

trying to follow the advice of one of the regulars on this forum and learn
to use the text based version of ModelSim 5.7.

However, using the file-find facility I have not been able to find Vsim and
Vlib on my installed version of Mentor Graphics on my machine. Is this
normal? I figured there was actually meant to be files which could be
accessed via the command interface...

If you are using ModelSim SE, you may have to compile the libraries
yourself. I found some information on how to do this in the Xilinx
suport forum.

They should be there somewhere! On a PC you may have to add the path
to modelsim to your PATH variable. The vsim and vlib binaries are
normally in

c:\program files\modelsim5.7\win32

and have names like vsim.exe, vlog.exe, vcom.exe

On a unix machine, they also need to be in your path.

What operating system are you using?

after spending a bit of time on this problem...I turned out that I had in
fact not installed ModelSim from the seperate CD. Installed it and it works
like a charm

cheers
