This package contains OCP monitor 
class to be used with 2.0.3 release of OCP TL1 channel.

Limitations
---------------

The simulation time is of type uint64. This may
cause an overflow with some visualization tools
with extremely long simulations.

Installation
---------------

- Untar the 'tar.gz' archive
- Change directories to 'tl_sc' and run:
    make PREFIX=/path/to/distribution

    where /path/to/distribution represents the full path of the directory 
    where the channel package is installed.  Note that some versions of "make"
    will have difficulties if there is a "~" (tilde) or "*" (asterix) in the
    path name.
