Hi Mark, so far I haven't looked at the generated symbols, only to the generated text.

I think your cgi is much to "intelligent". It should just receive an digikey-URL to an product information page like: http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?Ref=412929&Row=186907&Site=US This would prevent your cgi from stopping with "more than 1 category".

BTW: I haven't seen a link to the pin descriptions. Is there a special login required to get them? Another thing is the legal issue. Is it allowed to use that pin descriptions or does someone see any copyright problems? regards Werner
