I would like to give you the code but it was so expensive that we
dropped it after switching our VLSI tools to the ELXSI.  However I
can give you some possible contacts that may get you started in the
right direction:

	      OCTAL, INCORPORATED
	      450 East Middlefield Rd.
	      Mountain View, CA 94043
	      (415) 962-8080

They had a working version as recently as June 11, 1985.
Also try:

	      NCA CORPORATION
	      388 Oakmead Parkway
	      Synnyvale, CA. 94086
	      (408) 245-7990

The address and phone may be out of date, but they should be able to
help you.  If by some chance you can get a copy of the code to a CIF
to/from CALMA GDS2 converter for free, would you please mail it to
me. I hope this helps.........good luck.
