A non-graphical netlist format could be a gschem schematic file with a generic symbol without any pins, with just a list of attributes. Instead of special case, we could call it a default. If a net= attribute does not provide a pinnumber, it defaults to 1. Doesn't make is any better, but maybe feel better :-) This default is actually a natural and useful default. I'd welcome it. Whenever I forgot to put a pinnumber on a net= attribute, this default would have fixed the schematic, not hide an error. -- Stephan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
