     _C_m_s_k converts a file with Circuit MaSK layout descriptions
     (pattern definitions) directly to the ICD database, the pro-
     gram can handle almost every CMSK statement.

     proj_dir/.dmrc

     For each _c_e_l_l (pattern) in the celllist:

     proj_dir/layout/_c_e_l_l/box
     proj_dir/layout/_c_e_l_l/info
     proj_dir/layout/_c_e_l_l/mc

     The current working directory must be the project directory.
     Not all circuit mask statements are implemented.
     Extract, transfer, remove, formmask and grow statements
     don't work for rs, path, polygon, circle and cpeel program
     patterns.
