    Dear Philippe:
        I have been working with tut11a for the last little while and I can
    paint from one of its subcells just fine. I suspect very strongly that the
    issue is within the UKans library. I have not modified the cell in any way,
    so I suspect the file itself contains the DRC error although I dont know
    where it is yet and for now, I am going a different direction with the
    tutorials.
    
        Let me change directions on you a bit.
    
        I am trying to get tut11a to simulate. I needed to backup to magic 7.1.
    With magic 7.1, I perform the steps in the tutorial #11 on about page 2
    where it goes ':extract all', then quit magic. From the command line I go
    'ext2sim -L -R -c 20 tut11a' as shown and I get a myriad of "Too few
    area/perim values: assuming remainder are zero". The ext file itself looks
    like every merge line is generating this error. Here is the first merge line
    from the tutorial tut11a:
    
    merge "bit_0/a_n18_n22#" "bit_1/tut11d_0/Vdd" -1710 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    0 -4 -138 -88 0 0
    
    Can you shed any light on why this might be happening with the tutorial.
    Basically, I'm trying to get a feel with some standard set of either the
    tutorials or a set of cells the difference between 7.2 & 7.1 and I seem
    frustrated in my efforts every time I get close.
    
    By the way, the reason I had to backup to 7.1 was the ext2sim program said
    "extract done with 7.2, you need to extract again" and I found no executable
    for exttosim, so I gave up and went back a step.
    
    Charles
