+Xchiplogo reads an ascii bitmap file, and converts it into a
+magic or cif file. It is a handy program for creating logos
+of text or graphics for putting on VLSI chips. At the
+moment it accepts the B&W dithered format of XV as the
+input. It has got quite a few options for resizing and get-
+ting rid of many design rule errors that can be found in the
+bitmap file. It has a smoothing, before and after an error
+correction step. The error correction step is pretty simple
+,don't expect miracles, but it works quite fine and spe-
+cially for text gives a reasonable output.
