That's perfect. That's exactly what I thought would be the case, I just
hadn't figured out how to set it up. Thanks!

Technically, each gschem symbol *belongs* to a device, not *is* a
device. The *device* is represented by a footprint.

I'd put it in the About dialog, or somewhere in the Help menu. (1) I
wouldn't expect people to use --help that often, and (2) I wouldn't

Aha! I think the slot= attribute was the answer to my question to begin
with! :) Thanks, I shall go research that.

We are not clear where your hangup is. Perhaps you don't know about
the slot= attribute? Please tell us exactly where in the flow you are
stuck.

Here's an offer: If somebody takes the time to include a bit of text
pointing to the wiki into the --help sting for each of gschem,

The same goes for gschem and gsch2pcb of course.

I wouldn't do that. After all, it is a wiki that is suppose to be edited
and updated frequently. If there were copies in the distribution,
referring to the wiki would get ambiguous.

Separating the 7400 into four gates (slots) usually makes for a more
readable schematic.
You have more space to place each gate and its peripheral components in
a logical arrangement.

My main gripe now is that I have to go find (or build) a gschem symbol
for a 7400 chip, since gschem only has the individual logic gates as
symbols. Does one exist?
Thanks!

A red link (or some sort of wiki icon) up in the quick links on the
gEDA front page would be nice.

Interesting comment. We have been trying to get newbies to read the
wiki for quite a while, but apparently haven't been wildly
successful. In your opinion, what is the best way to get newbies to
read the wiki? Possibilities:
* Big, red link from gEDA front page (geda.seul.org)?
* Link or URL
This is a *great* resource. I think it should be someplace with big
flashing lights for new users.

Does anyone know how to convert the gschem 7400 symbols into the actual
74xx pins on a 74xx chip so that it can be loaded into pcb?
What do I need to do to get gsch2pcb to recognize the in/out pins of the
7400 gschem symbols and equate them to the pins in the pcb 74xx chip?
Thanks!
