I am pleased to announce a new version of the Electric VLSI Design System 
(version 6.04).

This version has the following changes:
------------------------------------------------------------------
   New network consistency checker based on Gemini.

   Design rules and other MOSIS CMOS conformance improved.

   Improved text facilities (fonts, sizes, styles)

   Arc creation improved

   Improved SPICE, Verilog, and IRSIM netlisting.  Primitive IRSIM engine 
built-in.

   Improved editing features (selection, cut&paste, frame options, 
cleanup, "Inst" component entry, arraying, Artwork line types, schematics 
transistors and busses, icons)

   Improved user interface (key binding, thumb dragging, message window 
location saving, auto-panning, UNIX interface, display control, information 
commands).

   Improved UNIX build, Alpha compatibility, UNIX Truetype use

   Many bug fixes (cross-library I/O, PostScript output, VHDL compiler, 
FPGA technology)

P.S. Be warned that the Static Free Software web pages are under some 
construction (the ISP's fault, not mine) and so it may be a few days before 
the site is current with 6.04.
