General Description:
When using LogiBLOX to create a module, module generation
fails, and messages similar to the following appear.
1. A new window appears with the message,
"Command failed 'ngd2edif -v fndtn -w -n
c:/windows/temp /module_name.ngd module_name'."
(Note the extra blank space in the path to the .NGD file)
2. The "LogiBLOX GUI Message" window reports:
"ERROR: basut - Unexpected argument[7] 'module_name' found."
The reason this happens is because LogiBLOX creates and uses
temporary files in the directory referenced by the Windows
"tmp" environment variable. On a system where this problem is
seen, typically spaces have been appended to end of the value
assigned to the tmp value.
LogiBLOX then runs NGD2EDIF (as shown in message 1 above),
referencing a file in the temporary directory. Because
NGD2EDIF arguments are normally delimited by blank spaces,
the tool interprets the part of the path following the blank
space as an additional argument and generates an error
(message 2 above) about an "unexpected argument".
These errors may be seen on the Windows 95 platform when
invoking LogiBLOX either through Foundation or when
running LogiBLOX standalone.
Remove the spaces at the end of the tmp variable assignment in
the autoexec.bat file, and restart the machine.
