NEW VLSI CAD INTEREST DL

[ANDERSON.ES at Xerox.ARPA]

This is to announce a new distribution list for the purpose of
discussing issues and exchanging ideas pertaining to VLSI Computer Aided
Design and Layout.

I hope for this DL to encompass a broad range of topics including but
not limited to: VLSI CAD/CAE/CAM hardware, software, layout, design,
techniques, programming, fracturing, PG, plotting, maintenance, vendors,
bugs, workstations, DRC, ERC, system management, peripheral equipment,
design verification, testing, benchmarking, archiving procedures, etc.
etc.

The distribution list itself resides on the Xerox Ethernet.  Ethernet
users can send messages to CADinterest^.es.  Arpanet, Milnet, Usenet,
and other Internet users can send messages to CADinterest^.es at PARC-MAXC.

Anyone on the Xerox Ethernet may add themselves using Maintain.
Arpanet, Milnet, Usenet, and other Internet users should send a request
to me (Anderson.es at PARC-MAXC) and I will add you to the DL.  I will also
add whole DL's if requested by the owner.

The people in the cc: section of the header are already on the DL.
Following is a type out of the DL entry.

For now, there are no rules set for this DL.  Depending on how large it
gets, I hope to keep it as anything goes and see what happens for a
while.  I will wait a week before sending any messages to the DL in
order to allow people to be added to the DL.  If we get some good
informative discussions going, I will try to archive the responses or
maybe go to a digest format.  Thank you for your indulgance.
