Well, here at SBCS we don't have a program to do this.  But I used the
following method to convert many ceasar files to magic format about one
year ago.

Procedure to convert cell.ca to cell.mag		nclee, SBCS
----------------------------------------
1. Type "caesar cell"
2. Inside caesar, issue ":cif -l cell 152", this produces cell.cif with
   lambda=152 micron
3. exit from caesar (":quit")
4. Go into magic using "magic -Tscmos cell"
5. Inside magic, issue
	":cif istyle lambda=1.5(pwell)"
	":cif ostyle lambda=1.5(pwell)"
	":cif read cell"
6. You may need to manually correct some drc errors, like 0.5 lambda alignment/
   roundoff error, linear labels becoming point labels, etc.
7. When done, issue ":writeall" to save cell.mag and all its subcell.mag
8. exit from magic (":quit")

The above procedure can, of course, be executed as a shell script (I know
somebody in Standard Micro who would love to copyright it :-).  However,
manual inspection and correction are still necessary.
