I just have one question: which tool is used to display an icon (.ai) file? Thanks. We used SAX : a Schematic Assistant under X-window. That tool is the result of a PhD. Years ago, we planned of intergrating it. But it was too huge and too requiring ( C++ ). That tool has actually disappeared. Anyway, you can use the icon with Compass : DESCRIPTION saveicon saves the pointed icon on disk. The file name is the icon modelname with the extension of the file format. The backup can be made in the Compass icon file format (.icn) or in the Alliance icon file format (.ai). To determine the file format used to save an icon, the ICON_OUT environment variable is used. This variable must contain the extension (icn or ai). If not defined, the Com- pass icn file format is used. If a software who used the icon library wants to change internally the file format, it can change the value of the ICON_OUT global variable to the extension (icn or ai) of the file format wanted. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - END-OF-MAIL
