[Magic-dev] Magic - GDSII arefs

[jmailguard-1 at yahoo.com]

I'm writing a program to extract information from GDS2
files and want the program to work well with files
generated from Magic.

The documentation for the GDSVU program from
www.artwork.com mentions that Magic writes AREFS in a
non-standard way (not according to the gdsii spec).

Does this refer to old versions of Magic or does it
still apply to the latest versions of Magic?  Is this
issue documented anywhere?  What format does Magic use
for AREFS?

Thanks,

Brian
