Ahhh, thanks. Is that different from the fc5 rpm right under it? I grabbed that and installed it, no problems, but no new components either after a gschem restart. I don't see a place in gschemrc to spec the new 'smallsym' directory as a path to search for symbols. I could selectively copy, but that looks like a couple of hours work, & I'm gettin lazy in my old age. >> Complaint #3, and minor, is that the printout is B&W.

I see there is a way to change that, but yellow on white on paper is a non-starter for me. >Wojciech Kazubski > Thanks for the speedy reply, probably speedier than I saw it as I've been mowing grass, staining a piece of a cabinet and a few other things, taking advantage of a warmer afternoon, up into the 60's(F) here today. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
