Hi Steve,
My first thought is that you could have a large ntpr, so that it is
taking longer to reach the point to print anything. However, the
simulation should *not* get stuck at the "3" part. You should at least
see the header for the "4. RESULTS" part. Can you give us more details,
maybe some input fiiles?
Gustavo.
