FYI comp.lsi.cad is a much better place for this type of query.


I wrote my CIF parser based Steven Rubin's now out-of-print CAD book.
It's at work, so can't get at the title until Monday.


If you're willing to look at code, there're a few choices:


1. Electric CAD written by Rubin et al and distributed under GNU Public
      License (GPL). See http://www.fsf.org/software/electric/


2. XRLCAD written by yours truly, released under a BSD style license, so
      it's free for all. I don't remember if I handle any of the usual
      vendor extensions. See
      http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/xrlcad/xrlcad.html


      The version there is quite old, but should be usable. It was written
      well before the C++ standard came out, so you might need to make some
      changes (eg., the scope of variables declared in for statement and
      so on).
