I have head rumors that the Mentor Graphics CAD software, which
currently only runs on Apollo's, is being ported to another
vendor's platforms. Anyone know anything of these rumors
and the when, how much, and which plateform?
Thanks in advance for any information (even if it is just
rumors).

True; I read something like that about a month back, in the Sunday New York Times' Business section. Mentor woke up one morning and realized they are not going to go any further just being on Apollo machines. The first new port will be on Sun systems. gld -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.

Mentor has rewritten a large part of their tools in C to make their code more portable and thus be able to put themselves in a position to port to other platforms. Yet, I think that their relationship with Apollo and the fact that they insist on selling you hardware as well will probably keep them on that platform for a long time. Still it sure would be nice if they could run on .....(pick your favorite workstation) Scott Evans evans@ccicpg
