Limitations - READ ME FIRST !
The puchase contract of Dracula that we signed implies that only one instance of the program can be running at any time, and the Unix shell that runs Dracula enforces that (stupid) rule.
Syntax
EcadOps is a Command tool command:
EcadOps CIFfileName rulesFileName TopLevelCellName
which executes Dracula on the Vax in your ecad directory. The files CIFfileName.SUM and CIFfileName.drcout are the files created by the Dracula program (see its Doc) under drcout.cif and DRCOUT.SUM. The file CIFfileName.SUM is automatically open on your screen when the drc is finished. See Mark Ross for the DRC tutorial.
If You submit a job while an other user already uses Dracula, your Job will wait for the completion of the other job, and you will get a warning message on your screen. Try to negociate with the other(s) uer(s) to avoid too many conflicts anyway...If you submit more than one job at once yourself, the extra jobs will not be submitted. Wait for the preceding fob to finish before...
An example of the rules file is Test.rul. Do not introduce Tioga Formatting in the rule file !
Requirements
You should have:
a Vax account with your name in lower case and the same password as your GV one (i.e. the one you use for Cedar) - How could I guess an other one ?.
a directory ecad in your Unix home directory (cd $HOME;mkdir ecad) where the action takes place.
if you had to change one of your passwords, or if you never used Unix before, do this:
delete the file named .YourCedarMachineName in your $HOME directory, if any.
try to login from your vax account into your Cedar machine through pupftp. Answer yes to the cache password question:
