Yes. Both bom and bom2 use a file called "attribs" which holds a single line list of the attribs you want to list out in order. Just add "description" to the list. Then it will work. I just checked this, so I am sure! Here's the attribs file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gEDA_Test]# less attribs refdes device footprint description and here's a session log where I create output.net and then list it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gEDA_Test]# gnetlist -g bom test.sch gEDA/gnetlist version 20040111 gEDA/gnetlist comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; see COPYING for more details.

Why don't you experiment for a while?!? :-) Stuart > > Cl< >
