    Hi Jim,

    I am working on a Red Hat Linux server and using Xcelium simulator. The OSVVM scripting docs indicates that I should initialize the tcl environment using the rlwrap utility. What is the purpose of rlwrap? Can I use OSVVM scripting without requiring rlwrap? What functionality would I miss out on if my (initial) attempt at using OSVVM scripting is to simply build all of the libraries.

    Thanks,

    –Steve N.

    Hi Steve,
    rlwrap is not required. It provides a command line history – like bash does that you can move through with up and down arrows. There may be an alternative on newer OS’s. I am still running Centos 7.. I need to update to a newer version soon as this one only supports tcl 8.5 and OSVVM is happier with 8.6.

    Best Regards,
    Jim
