For VLSI Design tools on the PC, in this case only the 386, I suggest looking
at the tools from Integrated Silicon Systems, Inc.  Research Triangle Park, 
North Carolina, USA.  They also have sales offices in Santa Clara, Ca  and 
the Los Angeles area.   The toll number is (919) 361-5814, but they have had 
adds in High Performance Systems which includes a toll-free number.  I can't
remember it, right now. 

They started on the PC and now have versions for unix and X-based systems.
The tools started as a mask layout editor and now includes various DRC, EDIF,
net-list, logic synthesis tools.  This is a well established and supported
set of tools.  I do not have pricing info.  It can vary greatly according to 
the set of tools which you choose.
