11/17: 9:30am: If you are having difficulty because the prs files are too large (e.g. exceeding your disk quota), you can use the following experimental feature. Run cflat file.act | prspack table > file.packprs. Then, to simulate the production rules, use prsim -n table file.packprs.

11/13: 5:30pm: Notes for async microprocessor decomposition are available.
