[Magic-dev] Technology Files

[cfk]

Dear Vinod:

    Most of the magic users running on Windows use Cygwin and the unix
utilities tar, zip and others. You will find that Jeff Sondeen at mosis.org
has the master set of technology files and magic has a slightly dimunitive
version of these.

    I have unzipped these files with the Windows zip program and it works
just fine.

    You will probably find, however, that just using Linux will be a
potentially better path for you. The magic code base, be it 7.1 or 7.2
compiles very easily on Linux and I have used it for several years.

    I even have a prototype floorplan for a MAC chip for my employer in
Linux using magic on my desktop at work drawn a year or so ago that has been
quite useful with company executives to visualize such things.

Yours Truly, Charles Krinke
