+Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle
+many forms of circuit design, including:
+ Custom IC layout (ASICs), Schematic drawing, Hardware description
+ language specifications, Electro-mechanical hybrid layout
+
+Electric has these CAD operations:
+ Design rule checking (3 options), Electrical rule checking,
+ Simulation and simulation interface (12 options), Generation (3 options),
+ Compaction, Compensation, Routing (4 options), VHDL compilation,
+ Silicon compilation, Network consistency checking (LVS),
+ Logical Effort analysis, Project Management
