The 1986 MIT VLSI Tools Release is now available for distribution to the public within the United States and Canada. The tools are designed or coerced to run on Berkeley VAX UNIX, version 4.2. The tape is written in tar format at 1600 bpi and requires about eight megabytes of disk space. We require prepayment of the handling fee of $500 and a letter stating that the tools will not be redistributed outside your organization or to foreign components of your organization, that the tools will not be used as the basis of a commercial software or hardware product, and that you understand that the tools are supplied "as is," without any warranty.
