The Microcelectronics Center of North Carolina has a VLSI system design
package called VIVID that includes a routine called ATOL that converts from
one format to another, e.g., CIF to GDSII, etc. It runs under Unix 4.2 and
I have used it to convert CIF to GDSII. I believe it also supports conversion
of 2 or 3 other intermediate formats.
