Hello Anrers-san, phil-san and all.

On the very recent MEMS workshop of ASME ( American Society of Mechanical
Engineering ), November 16 to 19, 1998 in Anaheim US. I saw at least
3 other software venders focused on MEMS design.

1) Microcosm    :  www.memcad.com
2) Intellisense : www.intellis.com
3) Coyotesystems : www.coyotesystems.com

Has value to check.
