For Internal Xerox Use Only

1. Purpose

The purpose of this program is to provide new members of the Design and Architecture Area of CSL a modest example CEDAR program that uses some of the important interfaces from the DATools world. The program illustrates the use of the CDCommandOps.RegisterWithMenu to register a new command on the OSpace menu.

2. Program Components

All the files necessary to execute this program are contained in [DATools]<DATools7.0>Top>DAToolsExamples.df. The first part of this DF file lists the files that are part of the package implementation. Note the following:

1. Documentation for all packages is required. It is generally the first file listed in the DF file.

2. To be safe, the .install file should install every package that is not contained in the [Cedar]<Cedar7.0> directory. That means all required packages from CedarChest7.0 and DATools7.0 would have to be installed. However, in the DATools world, very simple packages are probably safe to simply install Extract before running their package. This is because Extract is likely to install everything a simple package will need.

The second part of this DF file lists the files that are used by the program. These files must be imported.

3. Bruce Wagar's addition

A simple hack counting layout transistors.
