I wasn't planning on changing the action syntax at all. My question is: does your current idea for the action script cover all necessary cases required to import layout info/netlists? And do you have the parser & related stuff already in PCB? If so, then go with your idea. IMO, the goal is simply to optimize the bang/buck ratio by "leveraging" [1] whatever stuff is available to make your work easier. Stuart [1] Yes, "leveraging" is stiltified corporate speak, but it seemed to convey the right idea here...... _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
