Handling Quartus executable return codes

First post... I'm very new to Quartus and the FPGA world so be gentle. I've written a script to perform each step of the build step by step using the executables... quartus_map -blabla ...

The principle is it is hard to get return codes from the command-line-executable commands, but it is easy to get return codes from the Quartus-extented-Tcl commands.

So handle the return codes in the Tcl domain, like conditional jumpings and writing to a report file.

If you are working under Windows, Use Tcl, do Not use the command line.

If you are working under Linux, both will do.
