    Hello,
    
    I am trying to use extresist to extract a circuit that contains a
    transmission gate and an "intentional" resistor constructed from a
    relatively small piece of polysilicon, something like this:
    
         X         S'
         |         |
         |       --o--
         |      |     |
         |------       ----
         |      |     |
         R       -----
         R         |
         R         S
         |
         Y
    
    (If you really want to know, it's meant a piece of a voltage-scaling DAC).
    I am tearing my hair out trying to get "extres" to extract a netlist with
    any semblance of this circuit.
    
    What I'd like to get out of the extractor is the circuit shown in the
    diagram, with "R" between terminals X and Y.  Using "extres all" I
    get instead something like this:
    
         X         S'
         |         |
         |       --o--
         |      |     |
         |------       ----
         |      R     R
         |      R     R
         |      R     R
         |      |     |
         |       -----
         |         |
         Y         S
    
    Looking at the documentation, I thought that "extres box" might
    do the job with the box over the resistor, but this gives me no
    values at all
    
    Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong, or how to extract this properly?
    
    BTW I get the same result either using Magic 7.1 or Magic 6.5.1
    
    Thanks,
