Rajit, I see you made some changes to the magic web page, including a move (physical or virtual?) to vlsi.cornell.edu. Probably you should announce this change to magic-dev so people can update any links to your page (okay, so I'm CC'ing this to magic-dev, but only you know exactly what's up with the web page changes). Due to recent mailings to magic-dev from confused people, I have the following suggestions: 1) Add instructions on how to subscribe to the mailing list. Put this and the link to the mailing list archive under a recognizable title. I believe there used to be instructions on how to subscribe on the web page; either they or the link to them have disappeared. 2) Put *all* links to magic sources (including 6.5, 7.0, 7.1, and CVS) under the same heading ("Downloads", perhaps) and make it clear which version is which (e.g., 7.1 is the most recent stable distribution, CVS is bleeding-edge development source, and 6.5 and 7.0 are earlier versions, all the capabilities of which are included in 7.1). Clarity is the key (that, and no animations)! ---Tim
