I have been working hard on the future-generation "magic" product. It is a working product and has finally reached the point of reliability/stability where it can replace version 7.1 as the stable distribution. I have decided that I have accomplished most of what I wanted to do with the code base. Further development that I have in mind will seriously destabilize the code, so it is very important to save a stable distribution branch now.Version 7.4.0 is identical to version 7.3.123 except for a cleanup of the instructions and removal of some unstable experimental code. No further development is intended on version 7.4 other than necessary bug fixes. All development will be done on the branch version 7.5 (also derived from 7.3.123). For differences between the 7.5 (ALPHA) development version and this one, please refer to the web pages for the development version.
Revisions 1 and 2 reflect updates to the documentation and do not contain any actual bug fixes to the code.

File Description Type Date platools.tgz PLA Tools mpla, meg, peg, and mquilt Source (Linux port) February 19, 2004 espresso.tgz Espresso logic minimizer Source (Linux port) February 19, 2004 pplot.tar.gz CIF-to-PostScript conversion Source November 15, 2005 The PLA tools package has its own libmpack.a archive, corresponding to magic 7.1.7. It will link statically to this file when compiling. Check the value of install destination CAD_HOME in the Makefile for mpla and mquilt before installing. This distribution has been successfully compiled under Linux, but compilation/installation is not guaranteed. Please contact me if you have any difficulties, or for any questions regarding the distribution. Note that magic versions 7.2 and 7.3 do not contain the mpack subdirectory and therefore do not compile an mpack library as needed by the PLA tools. Hopefully this will be rectified in the near future. If you encounter problems when linking to the "libmpack.a" library, you will probably need to download and compile magic 7.1.7 first, then copy the file "libmpack.a" into the platools "lib" directory, overwriting the existing one. This ensures that calls made to system routines in the library archive will be recognized by your linker. One problem has already been reported with the call to routine "__ctype_b", a macro expansion from routines such as "isspace()", when compiled under gcc 2.95 ("libmpack.a" in this platools distribution was compiled under gcc 2.96).Thanks very much to Dr. Poras Balsara of the University of Texas at Dallas for providing the source distribution of PLA tools.
Programs espresso, meg, and peg are independent of magic. Programs mpla and mquilt use magic internal routines from the library libmpack.a but are standalone programs (like ext2sim and ext2spice).
