(Please excuse possible duplicate posting...)  

I'm in the process of selecting a VLSI layout tool for use in a course
in analog design that I'll be teaching starting in January.  The course
will use the Gray and Meyer text and will therefore focus on bipolar 
analog design.  All of the students will have had a course in digital 
VLSI design the previous semester.

The tool used in the digital course was MAGIC.  Therefore, since all of 
the students are already familiar with it, I'd like to use MAGIC for 
my course as well.  However, reading the manuals, it looks like I'd have
to sink a fair amount of time into coding up the files for use with a 
bipolar process technology.

I'm not interested in trying something that's just not possible or in 
duplicating work that's already been done.  I know I can back off to 
the ELECTRIC design tool, but that means the students will have to put 
in the time to learn the tool and spend less time learning the stuff I'm
trying to teach them.  Therefore, I have two questions:
 
 1. Is it possible to use MAGIC for bipolar design?

 2. Does anyone have technology definition and design rule definition
    files coded for a typical bipolar process?

Please respond directly to me or via this newsgroup.  Thanks!
