<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi guys, I am new here so don't be too much hard on me :)<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to compile this 1992 software msim.p from the FASTSLINK family.<BR>
You can get it here... wget <A HREF="http://watson.hgen.pitt.edu/pub/fastslink/fastslink.tar.Z">http://watson.hgen.pitt.edu/pub/fastslink/fastslink.tar.Z</A><BR>
<BR>
I have attached the msim.p file.<BR>
<BR>
So, am I doing something wrong? Is this an actual pascal file? Is 1992 too old? :)<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
<BR>
