The symbol creation guide says "no power pins", but when I leave them out, gsymcheck produces a warning (less pins then footprint size). The contribution site http://www.geda.seul.org/tools/symbols/contrib.html says, gsymcheck should produce no warning when contributing a symbol. Lars Friedrich student -- Germany
