Ah right. I guess that is a polarized capacitor. Its much
different from all the ones I have seen though, which is why I did not
recognize it. Normally I see the straight line with a curved line
underneath.

I had noticed this, however it says things like "Doc: Condensateur
polarise" or "Doc: Condensateur non polarise". So they don't do me
much good. I rejected the "capapol" as some weird thing when I was
looking through them.

Thanks :)
Also one other thing, I got my schematic done, seemed pretty nice
drawing lines and stuff. In some ways a lot faster then autocad for
schematic making. But now I want to bring my schematic into the board
layout program. I found http://www.curiousinventor.com/guides/kicad
which has been rather handy. I was able to get everything to a board.
But then I ran into problems. I found the test tools and have 7
errors. I can't figure out what they mean. The wires seem to be in the
right places. I have uploaded my files here

What do the green arrows mean? Does it not think the pin should be
connected that way? How does it know? Can I get more of a report?
