In the output window click on one of the warnings, right click and
you can select to mask off similar warnings.

Not really, I've been using Quartus since it came out and it's
generally been very stable (specially since it became Quartus II).

BTW comp.arch.fpga is probably a better newsgroup for this type of
question.

That helps.

It hung on me yesterday - the fourth fatal bug in five days of
usage. I'm a former CAD programmer also so am both sympathetic
and unsympathetic.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will go there.

What I did in PSpice to cope with such no-connect/float issues was to
make a couple of _TINY_ symbols "HIGH" and "LOWW" ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Quartus is worse than Maxplus-2 for the crashes per day.

It also doesn't produce the same resulting fuse map for the
same input file. This means that you can't recompile your old
code to make the same compiled results.

I think I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of
times it's crashed on me.

What are you running it on, and do you have enough memory (not usually
a problem until you get to big devices)?
