But I used the following method to convert many ceasar files to magic format about one year ago. Procedure to convert cell.ca to cell.mag nclee, SBCS ---------------------------------------- 1. Type "caesar cell" 2. Inside caesar, issue ":cif -l cell 152", this produces cell.cif with lambda=152 micron 3. exit from caesar (":quit") 4. Go into magic using "magic -Tscmos cell" 5. Inside magic, issue ":cif istyle lambda=1.5(pwell)" ":cif ostyle lambda=1.5(pwell)" ":cif read cell" 6. You may need to manually correct some drc errors, like 0.5 lambda alignment/ roundoff error, linear labels becoming point labels, etc. 7. When done, issue ":writeall" to save cell.mag and all its subcell.mag 8. exit from magic (":quit") The above procedure can, of course, be executed as a shell script (I know somebody in Standard Micro who would love to copyright it :-). However, manual inspection and correction are still necessary. -- CSNET: nclee@sbcs.csnet ARPA: nclee%suny-sb.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa UUCP: {allegra, hocsd, philabs, ogcvax} !sbcs!nclee "It is difficult to make something foolproof because fools are so ingenious."
