That does indeed look cool. I'm trying to get hold of an appropriate schematic I can test it on. (I know a project which uses Altium and I've asked if that can still export Protel ASCII format, and whether they would be prepared to send me one. > It can be found at: > > http://jacek-tools.110mb.com/ > > along with some other interseting gEDA things. The symbols are probably the most interesting thing for me on that page.. I made a tentative start drawing a few industrial style contactor coil / contact, motor overload, circuit breaker symbols, but they weren't very good. These symbols are nice, and will make my life communicating with people who understand the standard(?) Euro(?) symbols for these things much easier! If the Jacek is listening on this mailing list... Thanks! (I've BCC'd Jacek's email address listed in the converter tool AUTHORS file, so I'm guessing he'll get this one way or other.) I see your symbols are in Polish at the moment. I just wanted to point out (if you didn't know already) that gEDA is translatable as it uses gettext. If you wanted to submit a translation in Polish, we'd gladly incorporate it.
