Cannot get Netlist from DRACULA LPE

  1. Sometimes it happens that you have to revert to the very old tools.
    Now I need to get Dracula LPE working.

    I have got a Dracula LPE Runset, which I fill in, use PDRACULA, jxrun.com

    After all that I expect to get a parasitic netlist with dracula, but I
    dont get any

    Relevent statements in the runset file are

    *DESCRIPTION
    INDISK = in.gds
    PRIMARY = in
    SCHEMATIC = LVSLOGIC.DAT
    PRINTFILE = h4ls
    OUTDISK = outdisk
    *END

    *DESCRIPTION
    SYSTEM = GDS2
    FLAG-NON45 = Yes
    FLAG-OFFGRID = Yes
    FLAG-SELFINTERS = Yes
    FLAG-PTH-OFFGRID = No
    PATH-W-OFFGRID = Yes
    PATH-W-ROUND = Up
    CHECK-PATH = Yes
    MAG-BEF-GRID = Yes
    MINI-SUMMARY = No
    CNAMES-CSEN = Yes
    KEEPDATA = Yes
    *END

    *OPERATION
    LPECHK[SRCPU]
    LPESELECT[SK] MOS CORNER=0.5 &
    LPESELECT[SK] LDD &
    LPESELECT BJT &
    LPESELECT[SW] RES &
    LPESELECT DIO &
    LPESELECT[CS] CAP OUTPUT NETLIS
    *END

    But I dont get any file 'NETLIS' and I tried many different names.

    PDRACULA returns without errors

    When I run 'TYPE SPICE ALL' in LPEPRO, I get
