[comp.lsi] Want cell level

keithl@loop.uucp (Keith Lofstrom;;;628-3645) (04/21/91)

The various "ext2foo" magic extraction tools I have translate a ".ext" file
into a completely flattened transistor level file.  Useful, but...

I need a program that will read .ext format and turn out semi-readable
cell calls and capacitance (resistance optional) without flattening.
I will be using the results and hand editing to feed SILOS and other tools.
Have you got something that will do this?  

Thanks,
Keith

        We here at the Institute for Technology Development have
developed a hierarchical Spice extractor (IIg6 or hspice format) for
magic version 4.xx.  This extractor was developed under a DARPA
contract and is free to US organizations.  Perhaps the spice format
generated would suit your needs for a readable hierarchical netlist.
