I wonder if anyone has run across any publically available Perl (or other language) scripts that can parse an IBIS .pkg format file and extract the self and mutual elements and save them in some sort of simple tabulated ASCII format as opposed to the banded and sparse matrix formats that exist in the .pkg files. We may need to hack together something to accomplish the task, but I thought I'd ask to see if such a thing might already exist somewhere. (I'm sure the "Golden Parser" code contains subroutines that deal with the .pkg file format, but the Golden Parser source code isn't available without a license from the IBIS committee.) -Ray Raymond Anderson Senior Signal Integrity Staff Engineer Product Technology Department Advanced Package R&D Xilinx Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
