It is *very* odd that the test program accepts EBC yet rejects AK. I'd
hazard a guess that someone has configured the program, i.e., there is some
user option which looks for user-defined characteristics in a file and
rejects or flags them. However, regardless, changing the pad names just for
the purpose of test, particularly if it is done in a documented *and*
incompatible way, should not be a disaster, because any problems will show
up as an error upon any attempt to use the changed net list.
"Incompatible" means a change from one set of designators to another set
which does not contain any of the original symbols for any pad which
changes. So a change from 123 to 321 could very well create a problem, but
a change from AK to 12 or 21 should not, except for the problems inherent
in using numbers.
