hello shariff ,

i am a student in turkey. And i have a very similar problem regarding the
sdl. i use ams hitkit 3.5 - c35b4 technology.
it gives an error as follows:

// Note: Suspended at line 16516 of
file /users/tsimsek/thesis/icstn/module_ic.ample within function $mos
(from: Uims/Ample/Ample_eval 0B)
// Error: $mos_generator returned error status at line 16516 of
file /users/tsimsek/thesis/icstn/module_ic.ample within function $mos
(from: Uims/Ample/Ample_eval 1D)
// Error: Loadable Module "devices": basic rule not defined:
>>>contact_layer<<< . Use $report_mos_type('a') for more details.
(from: Ic/modules/general 01)

actually i have found no ~/module_ic.ample in my working directory so i
can debug. and there are no tutorials but the icstn_DLA.pdf (device
level automation ). maybe it can help for you.
ifyou can solve your problem, or alreadily solved would you please let
also me know.

regards,
turgay simsek
