MAGIC 6.5.1 is the latest version and there are ports for Linux, DOS, and OS/2, but beyond that there are no other ports that I know of. It would be great to see this app ported to Mac OS X.Here's a link to where you can find miscellaneous info for MAGIC...
http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/Classes/IcBook/magic/ Here's where you can find the source/applcation to download...
http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/projects/magic/magic.html Additionally, if you have extra time, there's a great circuit simulation program called Irsim, which can be found on the same web location. You can download that as well. Irsim is designed to run within a console environment but it does output graphs and charts into an X Window. http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/projects/magic/magic_6_5/index.html Apex, thanks for the interest! I really look forward to seeing Magic ported over to Mac OS X! You are the man. [ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: ShizChris ]

Apex:The .c and .h files (including the make file) should all download as part of the Magic 6.5.1 package from Stanford. It should be able to be recompiled without a problem. I downloaded Magic 6.5.1 from Stanford's FTP (it's about 12MB) and all I saw were source files (there's also almost 70 subdirectories that contain thousands of source files that extract to one directory). The Magic 6.5.1 license says that it's freely distributable and can be modified without limitations, so there's no legal troubles involved in whatever you want to do with it. Additionally, there are READ_ME files, etc. on how to go about compiling Magic for different platforms - these are part of the 6.5.1 distribution. Just download the LATEST tar.gz file from the link I provided - http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/projects/magic/magic.html, and extract it. All of the source files are in there. Let me know if you have troubles. [ October 17, 2001: Message edited by: ShizChris ]

Magic works very well on MacOS X... with X darwin and Oroborus installed. If you look on Magic offciel website in the archive, there's someone instructions on how to do this. Simple modifications to the codes are needed and explanation on where to do them is explained. Took me less than an hour to do the modifications. One more thing, I had some problems with compile even with these explanations. The fix for this is also on the mailing list archive... Magic as been running on my iBook (yeah, yeah small screen) since beginning of july 2002 and I already submitted one chip with it... It would be great to have more adepts of Magic on MacOS X as they might think of including the compile option automatically in the next release. Go check the Magic mailing list if you want more information... Stefan
