[comp.lsi] Database conversion

carbo@ssc-vax.UUCP (Joseph Carbonaro) (06/24/87)

I have an urgent plea for help.  We are in the process of trying to
design a couple of integrated circuits, but have unfortunately
encountered a snag when it comes to plotting the layouts.  Although
we can get several formats, none of them are compatible with the
plotter we have available.  What we need is a conversion program from
any of the formats listed below to a Calcomp format for a 907
controller:

	Banning (If you have not heard of this, you are not alone)
	GDS2
	Calcomp for 925 controller
	Mentor Chipgraph
	Mentor CIF (sometimes slightly different from conventional CIF)

If any translators are available (gratis if possible) I would desire
as much information as possible.  The sooner the better!

Thanx in advance...

P.S.  I just inherited this bag of worms, I did not plan it, so
         please try not to laugh _too_ much...
