Last I heard, some of the AI people were in Campbell CA working on a software called Electric Image or Electric Pencil. They have a "freeware" version of the Applicon software and earn their money doing support. I think a fellow named Steve Rubin is there and he certainly knows about the Applicon 870. I ran across their name some time ago doing a search on GDSII, stream, Calma. If you add Applicon to the keyword search I am sure you will turn up their site.
