			X11-Magic
		     (Second Release)

This message is to announce the availability on expo.lcs.mit.edu 
(magic.tar.Z in subdirectory contrib) of the sources of an X-11 
device driver for version 4 of Magic, a VLSI layout system from 
the 1986 VLSI Tools distribution from UC Berkeley.

This is the second release of this driver, and includes bug fixes,
additions, and enhancements.

Prof. Ousterhout of UC Berkeley has allowed us to freely distribute 
the driver to the public, slightly modifying the original Magic 
copyright notice on all graphics and text driver files.

This version of Magic has been tested with IBM RTs and 6152s with
a variety of displays, from monochrome (apa16 and aed), to VGA, 
8514 and Megapel.

The X-11 port was written by myself and it is based an X-10 driver for 
Magic which had been worked on by Doug Pan of Stanford University and 
Markus Wlodka of Brown University.

The "rest of Magic" sources are still non-redistributable and can be 
obtained as part of the "1986 VLSI Tools" tape by sending a material/
handling fee ($175 for Universities, $1,500 for commercial companies) to:

EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program
479 Cory Hall
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720

A signed letter of non-redistribution is also required.  Magic cannot
be distributed outside your organization or the USA.

Please report bugs of Magic for the X Window System, version 11 to:
