It creates a named signal. The first arg (YphaseA) is the name of the new signal. The second arg (parport.0.pin-04-in) is a pin that is linked to the signal, and also determines the type of the signal, so you don't have to specify the type manually. All subsequent args are additional pins that are linked to the signal (and must match the type of the first pin). As with link, "=>" amd "<=" are for human readibility only and are ignored. So, if you write "net foo bar blech plop", that is the equivalent of: newsig foo typeof(bar) linksp foo bar linksp foo blech linksp foo plop Regards, John Kasunich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
