[comp.lsi.cad] CIF -> PostScript?

Does anyone out there have a CIF to PostScript converter that permits the
stipple patterns to be readily selected and ideally customized by some
simple mechanism like bitmap files?  We have a copy of cif2ps of uncertain
age, with MOSIS Scaleable CMOS technology wired in and an ugly set of
stipple patterns and cross-hatching.  We have our own GKS-based cplot, but
unfortunately the GKS PostScript driver has a poor selection of stipples.  I
am thinking of something with an interface similar to the old Berkeley
cifplot program or Magic Versatec interface, where you associate a stipple
pattern as a hex string with each layer name in a technology file.
