Apologies to the group for my last posting and thanks to "ratan" and
"schneide".

One more point of clarification that ratan answered unknowingly:

ratan said:
>I cann't explain why the system is printing only one state tho'. But,
>when started in state (p=0, q=0), the spec is false:

No mater what state the system is started on, the expression (AX q) is
false (if not restricted by the state machine) because it is universaly
quantified. So the counterexample would have to print all possible next
states (4 in this case) to show that the expression does not hold for all
possible next states. I guess McMillan decided to omit that.

Thanks,

Victor.
