I'm not sure what this means. Using an asterisk at the end, as I mentioned, such as RD and RD*, is a long-used and recognized convention for negation, and I have never had trouble reading it, nor do I consider that it looks "awful." Perhaps Mira was referring to something else, perhaps the negation bar, created in Protel with a backslash, which can have problems on some printers. The use of a forward slash also is widely recognized, i.e., WR and /WR. Databooks most commonly use a full bar over a signal name to negate it, which I am not going to attempt to represent in ASCII.... I don't do simulation and the like, so the limitations of some netlist interpreters don't personally affect me; however, if they did, and the method I liked to use in documentation did not work with the interpreter, I'd be tempted to write a small utility to do the conversion to whatever would work, instead of making everything hang on the limitations of the program. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
