Dear Sir, We are interested in your VLSI design tool ALLIANCE for educational use in our VLSI desing lab. of the Technical University of Crete, Greece. We have been trying to downdoad the ALLIANCE software from the ftp site ftp.ibp.fr and 132.227.60.2 for several days now but we haven't succeeded yet because the server seems to be down or not responding. Do you have any suggestions on how to obtain the software in short time? We would be for any further information concerning the above software. Thank you in advance, Eleas Malamas Graduate Student,Technical University of Crete.
