\section{Introduction}

     \NEWOL\ is a redesign of the IC design system originally written by
Carver Mead at Caltech.  It is a Manhattan style IC graphics editor, with
composition capability.  While keeping some of the better features of the
original WOL, \NEWOL\ attempts to make designing cells and compositions easier,
and hence faster.

     This manual attempts to describe all of the features of the design
system in a concise, easy to understand fashion.  It is assumed that the
reader has some idea of cell design, and it would be helpful also to have
seen some other graphical editors.

     This manual is broken into many sections.  The first of these is the
design philosophy and how this relates to using \NEWOL\ (of course, the
best way to get to know how to use \NEWOL\ is simply to sit down and use
it!!).  The next sections deal with the menu system, and what each menu
square does.  Following the description of \NEWOL\ itself, the WOLCOMP
composition system is documented.  The last section contains extra material
which will become useful for experienced \NEWOL\ users (such as Technology
files and \NEWOL's special CIF).

     One last note before you go on to the details of \NEWOL.  The system
has been designed to be useful, friendly, and fast.  If you find yourself
frustrated or confused with some part of \NEWOL, then ask for help!!  There
are surely many people around who can, and will be able to help.  Enjoy!!
