This may be above my pay scale (seems to be a current buzz phrase), but I think having a way to automatically create a .hal file and update the corresponding .ini file is what you might need. I suppose Stepconf does something like this. This assumes that you don't really need to place comp's inside of comp's, but that you provide enough pins to let a .hal file connect them. You would create the custom comp's then have a comp "auto-router" that scans the existing .ini and .hal files, creates a new supplemental .hal file that links the new comp's and the existing .hal's. Then adds the new .hal to the .ini. The auto-router would use a script that describes the structure of your super- or parent comp (black-box?). Am I getting close or should I go back to taking my meds? I wonder if the Eagle comp application would have something to offer? -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
