PC Accounts
You may use a PC to run SAP,
telnet

other groups’ web pages. You may also use an X server such as Chameleon or
Xoftware and run Viewlogic or Allegro.
For help in setting up a PC environment and applications, call the IS support
number listed in
Internal Support

Setting up Your Environment
To set up a hardware engineering development environment for Viewlogic,
Allegro, or similar applications on a UNIX workstation, see the web page
http://
hwtools/unix/setting_up_a_unix_user_account
for help on the following steps:
1.
Mail and editing tools
2.
X Window System setup
3.
Installing load sharing
4.
Setting up your user account (
csh

tsch
shell,
emacs
, etc.)
You likely will end up with a project directory, e.g., ~/
project
, and several
subdirectories within it:
•boms
—for the BOM/PCN information that you will generate. A separate
directory per BOM is best.
•sch
—for schematics that you construct with Viewlogic
