[comp.lsi] Problem with magic on Apollo with DOMAIN/IX 9.5

bill@uoregon.UUCP (Bill Nitzberg) (11/14/87)

Can someone help me get the Berkeley VLSI design tools to work
under DOMAIN/IX release 9.5?  "magic", which worked under the
previous release, now gets a Bus Error and tries to dump core--tries
and fails.  We have DOMAIN/IX 9.5 on Apollo DN300's.

There were some postings in June about the tools not working
under 9.5, but I wasn't paying attention.

My company is now licensed to sell our version of Magic.  The
major high points are that it is fully integrated into the
Apollo Display Manager, has real support, and has new, improved
documentation underway.

Beta versions of the Apollo Magic are available now (sans new
docs, basically), a complete version will be available soon.

I finished porting Magic to my Amiga, as well, but it will take
me awhile to clean it up and port the other tools to
the Amiga.  It actually works quite well, you need lots of
memory, of course, but you don't even need a hard disk.  In fact,
I did most of the port on a floppy based Amiga 1000 (yes, it was
painful).

For more information on either version, please call or write:
