Hello magic mailing-list readers,

I have posted magic version 7.3.0 on my website, at

	http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/magic7_3.html

This version of magic, which I have given the status of PRE-ALPHA, fixes
a known problem with magic and stacked contacts.  Previous versions of
magic can only handle stacked contacts by defining contact types between
any three layers.  In addition, magic generates "images" of each contact
type on each plane connected by the contact, leading to a large number
of layer types.  Version 7.3 uses the same layer type on each plane,
avoiding the generation of excess layer types.  It does generate extra
layer types to represent combinations of two contact types in the same
plane, thereby allowing contacts which share the same plane (e.g.,
via and via2, sharing metal2) to occupy the same space.

Magic 7.3 is hardly production-ready, but is provided for anyone who
wishes to help out with the development and test drive it.  I will
continue to maintain, debug, and enhance version 7.2 while bringing
version 7.3 up to par.

					Regards,
					Tim
