Setting up Your UNIX environment

Before you can run certain software, you must tell the operating system and the program itself where they can find certain things. Make the following changes to your path and environment variables to allow the Magic and Spice3 programs to be run. This can be done by adding the following lines to your '.tcshrc' file in your home directory, or by saving the file .tcshrc into your home directory in text format under the name .tcshrc .
(WARNING - the second approach will overwrite any existing .tcshrc file!)
Note that in either case you will have to invoke a new shell before these changes will take effect.)

    # additions to path
    set path = ( $path /usr/local/cad/bin /usr/local/spice/bin )

    # variable for Magic VLSI layout program
    setenv CAD_HOME /usr/local/cad

    # variable to allow 'man' to find help pages
    setenv MANPATH /usr/local/cad/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man/preformat:/usr/man:/usr/X11/man:/usr/openwin/man
