I'm looking for info for two problems.

1.  We have VLSI Tools 1986 running on our Sun3/60 with screendumps
    going to a LaserWriter.  This is ok for black and white but we
    have two IBM plotters (HP 7475A emulators) which we would like
    to get Magic to output to.
    Does anyone know if Magic's cif stuff will output over the
    serial port to the plotters or is there some software available
    for this purpose.

2.  We also feel that the SPICE hooks in VLSI Tools are extremely
    useful.  The problem is that we don't have a SPICE version 
    on our Suns which will output plots to suntools windows.  I'm
    sure with all the Sun systems running on the Berkeley campus
    that there must be software running SPICE3 outputing graphics
    to Sun windows.  Got any answers???
