I am posting this as a favour to Dr. J. W. Smith of the Com-
puter Science Department at the University of Georgia. Replies
can either be mailed to him or emailed to me and I will forward
them. Dr. Smith's address is:

***************
I am inaugurating a graduate course in VLSI design to be
taught this winter (W'86) term. Since this is a new area for
this department, we do not have all the facilities one would wish
for offering such a course. In particular, we have a dearth of
display facilities and cad tools for VLSI design.
We are installing an AT&T 3b5 this month, and will leave the
Berkeley tools operational on that by the time the course will
require them. However, we will have no graphic display attached
to that machine at first. On the other hand, we have 120 Zenith
PC's (30 with color monitors).
I wonder if you have or know of any software product in the
public domain or available commercially that allows the PC to be
used as a VLSI design station or as a edit/display front end to
another machine. If so, would you please let me [or me...dld]
know about it at the address above. For this application, the
quality/sophistication of the tools need not be great. This is a
50 hour course (10 wks., 5 hrs.), and the background of the stu-
dents is not in hardware. Anything which works and gives the
spirit of the design process would be just the ticket.
Thank you in advance for your attention.
Sincerely,
J.W. Smith
Associate Professor
