Thanks Tim, looks like Rajit got the cvs ignore stuff, because I noticed
cvs updating my .cvsignore files during a refresh yesterday.  I guess my
find/grep wasn't powerful enough to find the place where database.h got
generated, but it makes sense now.

Another nit I noticed yesterday is that there are some vfont files that
are needed by the pixels (and plot versatec) which don't seem to be in
the source tree anywhere.  I had them around on the Yale computers from
an old magic release, but it might be reasonable to put them into the
plot directory and install them in sys.

Also, I was fooling with plot postscript and the MOSIS SCNA.80 files; I
guess I need to grab your examples from scmos tech files and put them in
my local SCNA.80 file.  But this isn't a problem with magic.

Best,

Richard
