Hi, John,
Item one is not clear enough to respond to, but we are very serious
about fixing any crashes Clive finds if he will share with us.
On the issue of the stop button, I need to define how it "works". The
Precision RTL application is currently a single-threaded application, so
it cannot stop immediately as currently architected. It will stop after
it finishes the current process. For some longer running processes, it
may appear that it is not responding.
The lack of support for the pipe character ("|") in Xilinx UCF was fixed
in 2003c.78 (our 2003c update1 release). Please download and try that
release.
