Abd, I found out that there are as many opinions about negation as the people are. I just tried to debugg a board, which schematic was in Protel and the net names were RESET and RESET_. Do figure which one where is connected if you have it only on paper. Due to the way the net labels are attached to the wire in Protel, the underscore overlaps the wire and hardly could be seen. That was what I meant.
