Marcus:

I believe most people using Magic these days use Tim Edwards et al.'s 
7.2 or 7.3, see
http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/magic7_3.html

I've been using 7.3 for a couple of months and 7.2 for more than a year 
for a large project (90nm Flash test structure layout, 1000's of cells) 
and only found one "serious" bug which by now has been fixed. So, you 
are much better off using 7.3 compared to anything earlier. If you want 
to give it a quick try use the Fedora Core 3 rpm at
http://home.austin.rr.com/prinz/magic-7.3.84-1.ejp.fc3.i386.rpm
which is signed with my public key
http://home.austin.rr.com/prinz/ejprinz.txt

There is nothing to port for Fedora Core 3 because 7.3 builds out of the 
box.

Best regards, and good luck,

Erwin Prinz
