If I do this, I'll mail the list again.
Reply to myself: I have done this for SMT passives and 1/4W carbon resistors. The scripts are at my website above. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] digipart]$ digipart.py 399-1805-2-ND [EMAIL PROTECTED] digipart]$ gsymcheck 399-1805-2-ND-1.sym gEDA/gsymcheck version 20040111 gEDA/symcheck comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; see COPYING for more details. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; please see the COPYING file for more details. Checking: /home/markrages/digipart/399-1805-2-ND-1.sym No errors found End example. I'm leaving for the weekend. Next todo: I want to make generic N-pin IC symbols, then create a bookmarklet for downloading symbols when browsing Digi-Key's website.
