The Mudd chip was not generated automatically from schematics...it 
was laid-out by hand.

The Silicon Compiler in Electric is for gate placement only...not for 
placing individual transistors.  And even if you did get it to work 
on the schematics, the placement would be pretty bad because the SC 
is 20 years old and still thinks in terms of making rows with routing 
channels inbetween.
