That will happen in good time. However, CC pays $$$ and gets both gEDA *and* my writing exposure outside the closed world of geda-user, all of which are bigger incentives to do things than react to the whines and complaints on this e-mail list. If somebody is serious about using gEDA, and wants a step-by-step tutorial, they are encouraged to buy the magazine & read the articles in the March & April issues. If a person doesn't want to buy the mag, then they can either wait for me to webify a modified version of that tutorial (in a few months), read Bill Wilson's excellent tutorial (already available for free on the web and covering much the same material), or figure out how to use gEDA themselves using a combination of trying things out and Googling. It's actually not that hard ... Stuart
