To date, gnetman can read and/or write (in theory) formats used by the following tools: * gschem -> .sch files -> gnetman * iverilog <--> gate-level Verilog <--> gnetman * gnetman <--> spice netlist -> ltspice or hspice or eldo or gnucap or tclspice * confluence -> gate-level Verilog -> gnetman Other formats that still need support to be developed in gnetman include: * gate-level VHDL * EDIF netlists In addition, an automatic schematic generator from gnetman to gschem would be highly desirable. Gnetman can be linked as a shared or static library into any open-source EDA tool. It also has a command-line version that takes TCL scripts and command-line arguments in order to translate file formats. EOF
