Hallo,
By the way here are the Depends of the xcircuit installation package:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libsm6, libx11-6, libxpm4,
libxt6, tcl8.5 (>= 8.5.0), tk8.5 (>= 8.5.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

Buses.ps works for me to
Here is the complete ps. There are a few messes in the frame that have not been
cleared yet
(I was trying to do something clever, alas!)
but that should not influence the problem.
hilight the net on PROM:A7; it works although the line on the back of the tap
is a bus only by virtue of the connecting dot.
Erase the dot. Now xcircuit will break when you try to hilight the same net.
Aha here is another observation:
a pinlabel planted anywhere, will make the appropriate net light up when asked.
but when the dot is erased also then it breaks although the net asked for is
for instance addressbus(2) and not (7) , the one on the stub.

Explaines it all, thanks. I am a bit rushed at the moment, so not everything is
polished to perfection.
Cheers,
