Currently, its single purpose is to publish on the web the CAD related software: gdsreader.

gdsreader is a Calma (GDSii) reader/parser/print tool. It is meant as a fast tool to get info about Calma files contents and to print it to PostScript and HPGL-2 formats. gdsreader is placed under the GNU Public License (GPL). Consequently, you may freely use it to whatever purpose fits you, but there is no warranty provided with it etc. etc.

gdsreader is (always) in alpha stage. Currently, the program is able to fully (well, almost) parse the Calma format and to generate PostScript, HPGL/2 and POV-Ray representations of it. The POV-Ray support as well as some transform bugs removal and documentation (finally a MAN page!) have been graciously added by Pete Curran to whom I extend many thanks.

Please try out the current version of the program, GDSreader.0.3.2.tar.gz (81k)

The old version can be found here.
