Hello there, I am now looking for a public domain LSI logic simulator or timing verifier for X-Window or IBM AT (EGA display). And I want to know what Magic is. Is Magic public domain? Available for X-Window? Please let me know about it. Thanks in advance. p.s. Please follow by news, Don't reply by Mail.

They include Magic and several other tools, including a simulator. What's Magic? It's a layout editor, ie. it lets you draw the circuit sort of as the masks used in production. You draw a rectangle of poly here, metal there, and a contact there, etc. It also has it's own built-in incremental design rule checker, which is nice. Overall, it's not the best system around, but it's the best public domain system around. Berkeley distributes it for a fee, but that's supposed to cover shipping and handling. I believe it's $400. And of course, I don't have the address of who to contact, though that question must be asked here at least once a month. George J Wu rutgers!clyde!gwu
