There is probably something wrong with your VHDL that is causing
MaxPlusII to use large amounts of memory.  Doing it at home is
unlikely to fix the problem.  The lab TA was not going to install
more memory so that you could compile your solution.

Try to figure out the problem by drawing a block diagram.  If
this doesn't work, try commenting out parts of your code to see
what part is causing the problem and try to simplify that part.

Try to finish before you leave.  You can use the Sun workstations
if all the PCs are in use (the instructions are on the course web
page).
