Also
there are two shared folders on my machine's C drive (\\coe-elrabaa):
one contains the Magic Technology files for the three technologies (TechFiles)
and another for a self-extracting WinSpice (Spice 3 for windows). The technology
files include a PAD_ESD standard cell library. The documentations for the PAD library
and for logic standard cells (useful to see how a professional layouts looks like).
