or more. One thing you may find about PCB is that its history is long. It was written for the atari a very long time ago and later ported to X. I haven't heard from the original author, Thomas Nau, in ages. Harry Eaton took pcb a long ways from the original versions and still does some work from time to time. For quite some time PCB used Xaw and the gui and core were pretty tied to each other. Then Bill Wilson reworked it to use gtk and then later DJ came up with the current HID approach. DJ wrote the lesstif HID and Bill Wilson did a bunch of the work to create the GTK HID. I also worked on bits of the GTK HID. We've had a handful of others involved too. So, there are certainly places where things can be better and where code has had many hands on it. > - Why does attribtue_dialog exist?

But I don't think the core ever directly calls the attribute dialog currently. For the export/print dialogs, the gui takes a look at the attribute list for the export HID and builds the form on the fly. That makes the export dialog for new exporters come for free. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
