Just a note on this, I kept getting burned by version ocntrol, as you
change filenames to save back old versions, the library files stay with the
old filename until you update the pointer. I have finally decided to have a
design file which is only for libraries, and not include library files in
designs. Any better ideas out there for library management?

Subject: [PEDA] IGNORE COMP LIB ACCESS POST
i figured it out... i needed to add the entire project ddb, not the
specific component library. when i added the entire project ddb,
the new tmod.lib showed up in the access list. it wasn't exactly
intuitive, but there's not a lot of that in protel anyway.
