Subject: Re: Any Hardware/EDA engineers out there?

Where are you located?  I suspect, probably in the Bay Area, but I 
ask this because there is a big Maxim plant here in Beaverton, Oregon 
near where I live (probably just a fab, though).

Are your swig interface files for tying itkDB to Ruby sharable?  You
wouldn't need to provide any Cadence code.
