Teach them to fish, yes, but make them figure out how to make a fishing pole from scratch? *I* might like that, but most users wouldn't.

My twopad and dilpad CGIs were designed for this, sort of. You fill in whatever parameters the datasheet decided to give you, it generates a suitable footprint. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
