 ====== CAD ======
-===== CSE Account Setup =====
-Email Jason Keltz (jas@cse.yorku.ca) about getting an account set-up on which you can run the CMC-brokered CAD tools.
-===== CAD Activate =====
-Once you have your CSE account make sure to validate it with CMC such that you can use the tools that you or your supervisor has paid for.
-From the command line type:
-<code>
-/CMC/scripts/CADactivate/cadactivate.sh
-</code>
-And follow the directions appearing in the ensuing pop-up window.
 ===== Cadence =====
-We have partitioned our Cadence tools among the IC technology we wish to explore with it and the Cadence version number we wish to run.  To avoid problems create a directory from which you will run one (and only one!) Cadence start-up command (listed below).  For example if you want to explore TSMC's 90-nm CMOS technology using version 5.10.41 create a directory like ''TSMC90nm'' go into it and start-up the Cadence tools with ''cad-tsmc905''.  Whenever you want to start up that tool for that technology go back to that directory and start-up Cadence.  If you want any other tool and/or any other technology create a new directory and apply the appropriate start-up command.
