Can I run ProtoCollum on My-Favorite-Linux which is not listed as a tested Linux version?
Yes. Users have reported success in installing and running the tool on other Linux OSes
such as Debian and GenToo.
How do I see what is happening inside of a PE Test during execution (simulation)?
The values of the special array State() can be seen by use of the Flag object.
See the User Guide for more information.
The trc package provides
even more information; showing the code lines being executed from the events
and the value of any scalar, list, or array variable at any point during
execution. Load the trc package via the File>Manage Packages
window. Select a PE Test and then click on the "footsteps" icon
to bring up a trace window for a specific PE Test.
I installed a license file, but I still get complaints about a limited
license file that can only open one binder object or only create 20 messages.
Be sure you have named the file correctly. The license file should be
named "LICENSE_use.txt" and it should be placed in a directory
located at ~/.protocollum/ or at <install_dir>/lib/protocollum-<VER>/
