Thanks, but it says "useless with gschem", whatever that means. In the telephone.sch file I could only see a mike and a speaker with coil, but no power pins. In the end it's important that a decent power pin handling is inside the program itself, not something that must be handled by letting a command line routine run over some files. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
