Okay, here's the announcement:   I've been getting increasingly
concerned about the fact that bach.ece.jhu.edu is an old (by computer
standards) SGI Indigo^2 running IRIX, with practically no remaining
hardware or software support services.  It sits in the corner of the
lab of my former advisor Gert Cauwenberghs at Johns Hopkins, while
Gert himself is actually on leave and at UCSD this year.  Meanwhile,
the domain opencircuitdesign.com, which I registered myself, has moved
up from being my personal home computer on a Comcast cable line to a
machine in the MultiGiG server closet with a dedicated IP address.  As
long as I keep up the registration and the redirection service,
opencircuitdesign.com can exist anywhere in the world, indefinitely.
So I am moving all my stuff there.

Consequently, the following addresses are now preferred:

    Magic      http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/       (Version 7.3)
    IRSIM      http://opencircuitdesign.com/irsim/
    Netgen     http://opencircuitdesign.com/netgen/
    XCircuit   http://opencircuitdesign.com/xcircuit/
    PCB        http://opencircuitdesign.com/pcb/         (Version 3.0)

The link to "pcb" is a new branch for an alpha version of the code
which is otherwise found on pcb.sourceforge.net, maintained by harry
eaton at APL.  It is my intention to give all this back over to harry
to have a single code base once again, but it has not been high on my
agenda lately.

The link to "magic" is for my development version 7.3.  Version 7.1 is
still listed as "distribution".  However, Rajit Manohar has indicated
that he would like to shift to version 7.3 as the distribution version.
So hopefully that will happen sometime soon.
