The optimizer should never turn a good board into a bad board, that's always a bug. The logic in the optimizer isn't that simple, though, so fixing said bugs may be tricky. Sample boards (and/or patches ;) welcome. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
