I am an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska.  I am interested in VLSI, 
but my program doesn't have any related courses.  Because of this, I am writing
a proposal for an independent study course in VLSI in which I will have to 
design and have made an original IC.

Here's where I need help:  From my readings of the net, it is my understanding
that MAGIC is an LSI CAD program that runs on a PC and will generate the masks
for the IC.  If this is so, could someone please tell me who makes this software
and a rough idea of its cost.  Also, I would like to know if there are any other
such programs available (name of program, manufacturer, approx. cost).

Finally, I will also need to find a text for this course.  I do have all the 
info on the VLSI texts that has been posted to this group in the past couple of 
months.  If anyone could make any other recommendations it would be greatly 
appreciated.  Even if it is an old text, I could use it for a comparison.
