Hi, John,

Try the following and see if it works for large designs:

$cd $SYNOPSYS/rs6000/sim/bin
$/usr/bin/echo '\0200\0\0\0' | dd of=vhdlsim bs=4 count=1 seek=19 conv=notrunc

NOTE: the "dd" command is going to modify the executable code "vhdlsim".
      So you absolutely want to create a backup copy before "dd".
