Peter,

Sorry about the previous message - I hit the send button before actually
writing anything (I hate it when that happens).

I've now run several chips successfully using the SCMOS LAMBDA=0.8
with Magic for my VLSI class.

We're using some old Suns with Magic 6.5 on them and have been able to
use the latest tech file OK, although certain special-purpose layers
don't show up quite right.  I've also used newer Unix versions successfully.

I only have experience with the Unix version, so I can't speak
about how well the Wnidows version works.  Someone else on this
list can probably address this question better.
