[Magic-dev] RE: Bare-bones tech files

[R. Timothy Edwards]

Dear Fernando,

   Look at the magic-7.2 and magic-7.3 technology files.  In the
distributions are a file scmos/minimum.tech, which is as bare-bones
as you can make a tech file and still run magic with it.  On a
slightly more useful level are two files on my magic webpage,
scmos8m.tech and scmos9m.tech, that are designed using some new
methods I added to versions 7.2 and 7.3, a dedicated attempt to
simplify technology files to the point that normal people can
actually write them (not quite there yet, but getting closer).
The URLs for those two files are:

	http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/scmos8m.tech
	http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/scmos9m.tech

Also look at the web page

	http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/tech.html

which has numerous hints and tips, plus a summary of all the
changes I made to the technology file format to date.
