Me too. I think the weakest part of gEDA is the lack of a good symbol and foot print library. basically everyone has to make their own. What would be great is a translator that could translate other libraries into gEDA's format. What's really frustrating is that if I go to (say) Analog Device's web site they will have symbols and foot prints for all their parts, but none work with gEDA. A translator could fix that problem. The othr free GPL'd EDA tool is "Kicad". It is very much like gEDA in that it is made up of a set of programs that interact by passing files. Kicad has slightly better integraton between the tools and a much larger symbol/parts library but then gEDA does some thing better. When would be good is if the two Kicad and gEDA could share datafiles. It would be good for both projects -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
