Dan,

I am seeing wires in the Eagle footprints.  Are they like pad fanouts?  Your 
conversion
seems to ignore them, and I'm wondering if that is a hole or gap in our ability 
to bring
in board designs?

What is the effect of ignoring those?  Will some footprints simply turn up 
unconnected in
a BOARD then if the <plain> wires only went to the footprint wires?

Thanks,

Dick
