SUN TZU: A descendant of Lao Tzu? If so, I like your distant relative's musings on RULING <<To rule a country, one must act with care, as when frying the smallest fish. If actions are approached, and carried out in the natural way, the power of evil is reduced, and so the ruler and the ruled are equally protected. They will not contrive to harm each other, for the virtue of one refreshes the other.>>> This is from the site at: clas.ufl.edu Namaste! Jim

As far as I can tell, the biggest impact of diagonal routing is on design. There will be some additional defect and process issues, for example I expect etching out a 45 degree corner cleanly is more difficult than etching out a 90 degree corner, but I wouldn't expect to see any significant retooling. I don't know where they are on the reality scale. The software seems to exist already, but it isn't clear whether any diagonal-routed chips have actually been designed or manufactured. Katherine
