The following CAD tools from MCNC are being placed in the public domain.
Due to major cuts in state funding, the Microelectronics Center of North
Carolina will no longer be supporting any of these tools. The source and
man pages are available via anonymous ftp from:

conch - a connectivity checker
expandmag - outputs all MAGIC sub-cell types used in a given
hierarchical cell
ext2cazm - shell script for converting MAGIC .ext files into
a cazm/spice file
genwave - CAzM Waveform Generator
lab2select - filter program used as part of the
substrate/well contact checker powernet(1)
mage - A diffusion labeling filter program for use by the
power bus and substrate/well contact checker powernet(1) and sop(1).
peep - is an interactive program that allows the user to view the
interconnection of transistors in a SIM file and easily trace forwards
and backwards through the logic. It can also be used to report
capacitance information and identify potential dynamic latch problems.
powernet - a tool to look for high resistance distribution of power and
correct connection of substrate/well contacts
secs - reads a SIM file and performs a number of static electrical checks
in an attempt to locate opens and shorts in a circuit.
sim2cazm - converts SIM format files to cazm/spice format.
squash - merges parallel and series device structures in SIM
format files
wellc - examines CIF cells to see that diffusion is within a certain
distance from substrate or well contacts.
