Interesting. I still had Win98 as dual-boot when I was using it, and it was also available on the (windows) machines in that lab. | They have (interestingly, since they are owned by Cadence now) also | expressed a complete lack of interest in porting their Capture and | Layout products to Linux/*nix. Cadence makes some _really_ nice IC | physical layout and verification tools that run/ran on Solaris and | possibly other unices. Big bucks, mind you. I used to co-op (when I was in high-school) for Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, a Johnson and Johnson company, in the Electrical Design Center department. A lot of the engineers there used Cadence (on SUN boxes). I do remember, now, checking out their site to see if they had anything for me, but it was very expensive! -D
