The scope? From the IEC web page. http://std.iec.ch/iec60617 The following areas are covered in the database: 1. Conductors and connecting devices 2. Basic passive components 3. Semiconductors and electron tubes 4. Production and conversion of electrical energy 5. Switchgear, controlgear and protective devices 6. Measuring instruments, lamps and signalling devices 7. Telecommunications transmission, switching and peripheral equipment 8. Architectural and topographical installation plans and diagrams 9. Binary logic elements 10. Analogue and hybrid elements I claim fair use, in using the above text. Stephen Meier If the IEC is going to sue me for quoting from their web site, I at least want them to spell my name correctly. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
