Could you send me a copy of the source code for penplot.
We are trying to setup a course in VLSI design and we are using 
the "NELSIS" software package from the Technical universities in the
Netherlands. We are looking for support software. We have picked the
switch level simulator from MIT off the net and we don't know the input
format off the files. We are also looking for the CIF files as presented
in the last pages off the book " The VLSI designers library".

Thanks in advance 
Cees Keyer.
