[Magic-dev] TSMC .18

I am considering using TSMC .18 technology for my next chip.  I have 
previously used TSMC .25 with magic 7.1

In opening up magic with the technology file SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27 
from the 2001a library, I get these errors

Section "styles" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "contact" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "compose" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "connect" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "cifoutput" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "cifinput" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.

Section "plowing" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Section "plot" was missing from 
./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27.
Cannot load technology "./cad/lib/2001a/SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27"

and magic does not open.  I do not get these errors using tech file 
SCN6M_DEEP.09.tech27

There is not a SCN6M_DEEP.09.TSMC.tech27 in the 2002a library.
It also appears that the hv layers used in pads are not defined in this 
tech file.


Do I need to upgrade magic versions(7.2 or 7.3) to work with a .18 
technology?
Can I use SCN6M_DEEP.09.tech27 for TSMC .09.
Has anyone created pads for this technology?
Are there any other caveats to the combination of magic and TSMC .18 
that I am missing?

Thanks
