Re: Running Z88

Thank you Markus... That's what I've been doing most of the time. The linear static analysis always left the files behind after closing Z88Aurora. When I ran the non-linear case, I never found the Z88Man.txt file. ...until I left the "Z88NL: ran successfully!" window up... per your suggest...

Re: Running Z88

Oh... the life of graduate school. I remember "fondly" having reviews with my professor at 2:00 AM.

And... its interesting how aging turns things like that into fondly. :roll:

Thanks Markus. I'll give that a try when I get home from work this evening.
