     _A_u_t_o_c_h_e_c_k checks the layers of a cell definition on design
     rule errors.  Width and gap checks are performed.	Gap
     errors between edges of the same group are usually
     suppressed, use the -g option if this is not desired.  The
     errors are reported on the standard output.

     The program _a_u_t_o_c_h_e_c_k can be used after _e_x_p.

     If no cell_name is specified the cells to be checked are
     read from the file "exp_dat".

     The current working directory must be the project directory.

     It is understood that the design rules are consistent.
     Error reporting is rather poor; the kind of error (width or
     gap) is reported together with the coordinates of the two

     points between which the error occurred.  In case of non
     orthogonal layouts the errors reported may be shifted a lit-
     tle from the place where they occurred due to rounding
     errors.
