Im worried that Bantam will create an error in my design. What steps has Saratoga Data Systems taken to assure the accuracy of Bantam 1.8?

Saratoga Data Systems maintains a test suite of more than 100 GDSII Stream files on which it rigorously tests Bantam for accuracy. Bantam is not released unless it successfully passes all tests. Bantam 1.8 endured a rigorous three month customer beta test period in which its accuracy was tested on hundreds more full chip GDSII Stream design files of up to 68GB in size. Bantam’s accuracy was verified using the exclusive-or (XOR) function of several popular physical verification products. The production version of Bantam has never created an error. Bantam strictly adheres to the GDSII Stream version 6 specification. And finally, Bantam 1.8 uses a 96 bit internal checksum to verify that each optimized structure written to the output GDSII Stream file is equivalent to the structure read from the input GDSII Stream file.
