[ModelSim] how to know the currently used modelsim.ini? How to report its location?

Hi All, How can I know what modelsim.ini is currently used by Modelsim? How can I report a path (location) to the modelsim.ini from the Transcript window of Modelsim? Thank you!

*.mpf is a Modelsim Project File. That is an alternative file to modelsim.ini. I have never found it to be particularly useful, so have stuck with the modelsim.ini file.

Read the Modelsim documentation for more details on the differences between the two files. I can't recall what I did not like about *.mpf files, it could be that I was just resistant to change :)

Cheers,

Dave
