CAzM from MCNC can be had for a song ($150 for educational inst.). jeri@mcnc.org may be contacted for licensing information. It runs on most UNIX machines, the source code is comes with the binaries, it is written mostly in C, over 50 site licenses have been issued and you can get a tape directly from MCNC. If you want some more technical info, Gary Nifong (gbn@mcnc.org) may be contacted... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Richards MTS Phone: (919) 248-1452 Microelectronics Center of North Carolina Fax: (919) 248-1455 PO Box 12889 RTP, NC 27709-2889 e-mail: richards@mcnc.org
