I am pleased to announce that the "Electric VLSI Design System" is now
available on the Free Software Foundation site.  For the latest version,
download ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/electric-5.4g3.tar.gz

Here are some of the amazing features that you will find in Electric:

> Platform independence.  This source release compiles under UNIX, Windows,
>and Macintosh.

> Design both Schematic circuits and ASICs (has many IC design rule sets,
>including the latest quad-metal MOSIS submicron rules).

> Many built-in tools (DRC, Simulation, Routing, Silicon Compilation, VHDL
>interface, Network Consistency Checking, Compaction, Compensation, PLA
>Generation, and much more).

> Built-in constraint system provides powerful design assistance.

> Flexible database and tool control make this an ideal workbench for CAD
>tool development.

And if you want further information from the folks who wrote Electric, see

Enjoy!

  The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
