<mine is not to reason why> Has anybody had any experience with the UNIX based 'Valid' CAD workstation? We're getting ready to purchase a couple, and they're making some interesting claims. One in particlular concerns a DECnet interface. They say the'll be shipping 4.2 with our systems. Does anybody else have 4.2 on a Valid?

#R:ittral:-42300:fortune:12600006:000:748 fortune!yamauchi Jun 5 09:00:00 1984 Sat in on a seminar given by Valid just last week and heard the contrary. When I asked them which UN*X they ran, the answer was 4.1c BSD, with a 4.2 BSD port in the works. The DECnet interface was also "in the works" as they put it. I'd also like to hear from any Valid user's out there. In particular anyone who has been using their REALCHIP modeling system. Is it really as easy to use as they say? Has anyone tried to "model" any- thing in the 68k family or anything other than the 8086 model that comes with the REALCHIP system?
