Instead of the directory name "IEC417" I now see "IEC 60417". It's prettier, but it's very little extra information. A real description, possibly containing hyperlinks to information on the web, would be much more useful. This is especially true of libraries like this one whose symbols should never be used in ordinary schematics (but how is the user to know?). IEC417/ground.sym is a nasty gotcha... > > Peter > > -- > Peter Brett > > Electronic Systems Engineer > Integral Informatics Ltd > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. http://www.noqsi.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
