Speaking just to the second part of your question as applied to item 2),
i.e. the "legality".

Whether it is "legal" or not, being as charitable and kind as possible,
it is simply a very bad idea.

Subject: [PEDA] Duplicate pins in schlib

I'm drawing up a library component for an Atmel microcontroller, which
has 
a large number of multi-function pins (for instance, pins 32-39 are
either 
an 8-bit I/O port or half of the memory bus). I can see two ways of 
representing this in the schematic library:

1) Place 40 pins and give each one a title like "PA0 (AD0)".

2) Place one pin for each function but with duplicate pin numbers (so 
there's two of each pin, with different names).

Which, or both, of these methods is legal (Protel 99SE) and which is
advisable?

Thanks
Matthew Leigh
