These are both filenames, so they should have the actual file name. However, I think the programs could add on .sym/.fp if the file as-is doesn't exist but with extension does. > 3) should we add a column for the "device=" attribute as done in the > above example ? If needed. For example, there are a couple of resistor symbols, but they're all the same device.

The format is irrelevent, as long as you have a helper that talks to the common API. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
