Hi Protonixs,

Similar questions have been asked in this group previously. You may
google it to find more.
There is a thread that might help you to start with:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/a494637b85217235/3fde67ae1a71ce0b

BTW, there is a Wiki page dedicated to the GDS format. It references
loads of links for GDS utilities.

I am actually looking for scripts to study and work into.
Those provided in the previous discussion are stand-alone executable
files.
Can anybody here provide me a good tutorial about it?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Protonix,

Ok, I do understand.
So in this case, you could look at freewares or open source projects
that provide the source code and whose license terms and conditions
don't prevent you from any modification, enhancement ... etc. You
might be interested in :

1. Perl GDSII module from the CPAN
http://search.cpan.org/~schumack/GDS2-2.09a/lib/GDS2.pm

2. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gds2

But if you are keen in making your own software from scratch, then
just go to the GDSII documentation and ... good luck ;-)
BTW, is there any reason why you want to make this in csh ? There is a
very nice article hanging on the web, it's title is 'Csh Programming
Considered Harmful'. Give a look at:
http://www.thp.uni-duisburg.de/~michael/csh-harmful.html

I would rather go for C, sh or Perl. I'm Perlish myself but the choice
is yours.

Have fun anyway !
Cheers,
Riad.

Hi Protonix,

which is more powerful between csh and perl ?
The true answer is that we can't compare these two since they were not
meant for the same purpose. Csh is a UNIX Shell whereas Perl is a
programing language.
A programming language, like Perl is more suitable for this kind of
tasks. As many Programming languages, Perl has got modules and
extensions that makes it dealing with almost everything. I won't go
any deep with this topic since it drifts from the original subject.
There is plenty on the web.
I would definitely go for Perl myself. But please bear in mind that
the best tool/language is the one that you are comfortable with and
that makes your life easier.

Cheers,
Riad.
