Does an EDIF<->gschem translator exist?
Would it be ridiculous to write one? (Anybody can step in here and
say, "Well, you could write one, but you would never get the library
interface to Orcad to work because they don't document the frozbazz
interface and that is absolutely required", etc...)
Would this be of use to anybody else in the universe?
Any other thoughts?
The problem is that EDIF is just a netlist format, and doesn't hold
info about the actual component's symbol (like is it a box, triangle,
where are the pins, etc). As such, any schematic you create from it
would be confusing at best.
Are you sure that EDIF (for some version of EDIF) doesn't contain
graphical info too? I thought it could but I could be wrong.
On the topic of EDIF, there is a patch on sourceforge to allow loading
EDIF netlists into PCB. I glanced briefly at it. Mostly what I need to
do is contact the author of the edif parser and see if it is ok for
inclusion in a gpl-ed program.
