Hi Folks;

I'm currently using the KiCad version KiCad 2010-05-05 BZR 2356.  This uses 
EESchema-LIBRARY Version 2.3.

I'd greatly appreciate your insight.  I'm learning about the KiCad symbol 
library format and have questions.

1) In reading a symbol definition, which name matters?  the DEF record has a 
part name and the F1 record also has the part name.  Is there a reason for it 
being there twice?

1) In reading the 74XX library I'm seeing pins being repeated.  I suspect this 
is how the "DeMorgan equivalent" symbol is represented.  But the second set of 
pins has an additional field that the first set does not have.  

For the 74LS08 I first see a record for pin one.

X ~ 1 -450 0 300 R 60 60 1 1 I

Then a little lower I see another record for the same pin.

X ~ 1 -600 100 370 R 60 60 1 2 I I

I'll keep on digging.

Thanks in advance;
Jonathan
