    Jon,
    
    There is a version of cif2ps at wavefront sciences that is
    used
    for the purposed you describe at:
    
    http://www.wavefrontsciences.com/micro-optics/microoptics.html
    
    I have also have a copy of PSMASK as well that I can send
    along.  
    However, it was only distributed as a sun binary.
    
    Additionally there is pplot for translating from CIF to
    Postscript.
    
    
    I make a habit of saving any CAD tool I find onto a CD in
    case it 
    disapears so I can whip up a tar ball with most of these
    things
    if you would like.
