: Howard

I managed to get a Fatal app. error by creating a 'STD_LOGIC_VECTOR' type
of signal, and not including the vector's size; ie. I put

SIGNAL blahblah : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR;

and then, I said

blahblah <= "11111111";

which caused MaxPlus2 to give a very descriptive "fatal app error", and then
crash quite gracefully.

the solution is to give blahblah a size:
SIGNAL blahblah : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(7 DOWNTO 0);

Hope this was your problem...

here is some sample VHDL code
