Why aren't luciani's footprints included in the standard distribution? The more symbols the program has the more useful it is. I suggest luciani's footprints to be added into PCB. I suggest also "Finally, a special-purpose website has been created to distribute gEDA symbols and footprints: http://www.gedasymbols.org/, but it currently needs donations." to be deleted from http://geda.seul.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=geda:pcb_tips because the site is not a repository of symbols and footprints, despite claiming so. It doesn't contain either of them. CL<
