Basic Types
This program, alas, uses several different units of measure.
One is the CD.Number, which is some fraction of the mythical Lambda. The CD.Number and the Lambda are related by a parameter in the CD.Technology. The ratio between a CD.number and a Nm can be set by the user.
Another is the Meter and the Nm (nanometer). These are related in the obvious way. The integer type Nm should be able to carry all measurements.
Another is the Tad. This is the smallest measuring quantum, in which every distance and position is expressible as an integer. The corner-stitched Tesselations that are passed among CoverProcs are expressed in Tads. At this writing there is no need for a Tad to be smaller than a Nm, but at some point.... The ratio between a Tad and a Nm can be set by the user.
And then there's the MEBESPixel. For reasonable people today, this is 1000 Nm or 500 Nm or 250 Nm, but the MEBES formats permit other sizes. The ratio between a MEBESPixel and a Nm can be set by the user.

Cover Specifications (which points on the mask are covered)
CoverSpec: TYPE = REF ANY;
A CoverSpec is a LIST OF REF ANY, or a CDLayer. If it is a LIST OF REF ANY, it must be among the following forms:
LIST[ $NOT, CoverSpec ]
LIST[ $AND, CoverSpec1, CoverSpec2, ... ]
LIST[ $ANDNOT, CoverSpec1, CoverSpec2 ]
LIST[ $OR, CoverSpec1, CoverSpec2, ... ]
LIST[ $Enlarge, NEW[Nm ← x], CoverSpec ]
.. This enlarges the diameter of every feature in CoverSpec1 by x nm. If x is negative, this enlarges the diameter of every space in CoverSpec1 by -x nm.
LIST[ $RestrictedEnlarge, NEW[Nm ← x], CoverSpec1, CoverSpec2 ]
.. x>0. This enlarges the radius of every feature in CoverSpec1 by the smaller of x/2 nm and half the distance to the nearest feature in CoverSpec2.
LIST[ $DeNotch, NEW[Nm ← x], CoverSpec ]
.. x>0. This covers any space in CoverSpec whose smaller dimension is no larger than x.
LIST[ $SizeLEq, NEW[Nm ← width], NEW[Nm ← height], CoverSpec ]
This filters the features of CoverSpec, keeping only rectangles no larger than width x height, while discarding non-rectangular features and (rectangular) features larger than width x height.
LIST[ $MeasureRuns, "Description ROPE", CoverSpec, NEW[Nm ← coverHorizon], NEW[Nm ← coverMinFeature], NEW[Nm ← spaceHorizon], NEW[Nm ← spaceMinFeature] ]
.. This is executed for its side effects. It looks for too-small features and spaces, and it hangs a structure on ms.data that is later printed in the log, showing how many micrometers of various-width features and space were found.
... for example, LIST[$OR, NEW[CDLayerRec ← [source: %CMos.ndif, deltaDiameter: 1000 -- nm --]], NEW[CDLayerRec ← [source: %CMos.pdif, deltaDiameter: 1000 -- nm --]], NEW[CDLayerRec ← [source: %CMos.pwelCont, deltaDiameter: 1000 -- nm --]], NEW[CDLayerRec ← [source: %CMos.nwelCont, deltaDiameter: 1000 -- nm --]]]]
