I want an IC layout tool to generate cif files for very simple
designs with non-manhattan/non-45-degrees (i.e. arbitrary angles)
geometries. Preferably it should run on a Sun, pc-AT(286/386/clone)
or maybe even a vax. The features & capabilities could be very limited
as long as it allowed the arbitrary angles and cif output.

	We have Magic on our sun, and chipgraph on a mentor,
but they won't do the job.
	Any leads would be appreciated.

my Opinions aren't anyone else's, and they probably shouldn't be
