wincupl, winsim documentation?

[ge]

I am trying to do a simple project using Atmel's WinCUPL, and having
some problems finding documentation. In particular, I don't have the
help file(s) for WinSim - that is, the <help - simulator> menu
selection yields no content. I don't find any WinSim docs the Atmel
website. Any clues would be appreciated.

TIA,
George Eccles

Hmmm. On my install there is a winsim.hlp in the winsim directory.
Personally I avoid this GUI - Winsim was a Visual Basic wrapper to
CSIM.EXE.

The CSIM.exe is much more reliable, and can be called from cupl command
line, with a simple -s switch.

You create the .SI file in a text editor, and also have the .SO file
in another pane, then iterate your way thru the design.
This keeps the location between edits, can handle large simulations,
and also allows multiple

ORDER:
VECTORS:

sections in a single .SI file. Winsim can only handle a single context
SI file.
