     _p_r_o_j_e_c_t
	  Absolute or relative path of the library project.

     _r_e_m_o_t_e
	  Name of the cell of the library project.

     _l_o_c_a_l
	  Name of the cell in the current project (alias), if not
	  specified remote name is taken.

     _p_r_e_f_i_x
	  Prefix to be prepended to the remote name to generate a
	  local name.

     ----cccc   Import cell in the circuit view.

     ----ffff   Import cell in the floorplan view.

     ----llll   Import cell in the layout view.

     ----aaaa   Import all cells from _p_r_o_j_e_c_t.

     ----iiii   Import cells interactively. This option implies the -a
	  option, however, the user is prompted for each cell
	  found in _p_r_o_j_e_c_t.  Legal replies are 'y', 'n' and 'q',
	  to respectively import or not import a cell or to quit
	  the program (default is: not import).  If 'y' is
	  replied then the user is prompted for an alias name.
	  The default name (shown between brackets) is selected
	  when just <return> is entered.  If the cell cannot be
	  imported then the default local name is cleared and
	  another local name can be specified, or the cell can be
	  skipped by entering just <return>.

     ----rrrr   Import all root cells from _p_r_o_j_e_c_t.

     ----pppp   Specifies that the next argument should be used as a
	  prefix that will be prepended to the remote cell name
	  to generate a local name.

     _I_m_p_c_e_l_l imports cells of library projects into the current
     project.  The program checks if this is a legal transaction.

     If no parameters are specified the program reads from stdin.
     Note that the order of the parameters for stdin is reverse
     (i.e. local name, remote name, project).  The current work-
     ing directory must be a legal project directory.  Cells can
     only be imported from library projects that have previously
     been added to the "projlist".
