what are these astro/milkyway, hercules, calibre and astro tlu+ as input ???????????

tlu+

Astro/Milkyway I belive that are P&R tools, and Calibre and Hercules are used for LVS needed for the transistor level parasitic extraction. It means that StarRCXT is able to read those tools' output databases...

table lookup plus

There is a also free tool called LYNX or Cougar which can be used to extract RC information.

TLU+ stands for Table LookUp Plus. It is a capacitance lookup table created by using St@r-RCxT

Would you please upload your star RCXT docs? This will be helpful for other people. Thanks in advance!
