Brian, I understand you can't spend a lot of time with the lack of interest. However, I am willing to pay for it, - I just need to have the job done.
On the other hand, the lack of interest is surprising me. I know the IPL format is commonly used by several vendors but the technical aspects I can't tell. Please let me know if you will make it being paied. If not, I need to find another person/company to do it. Peder -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Brian Guralnick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt: 18. september 2002 21:28 Til: Protel EDA Forum Emne: Re: [PEDA] SV: An IPL to Protel footprint converter - step #2 I'm sorry Peder K. Hellegaard, But, no one seems to have interest in the foot print converter. It would be odd for me to make a public domain translator when you would be the only user. My 4 questions were very general & I would have done the leg work myself, but, with so little interest, it seems that the IPL standard is not considered any useful. Or, at least to Protel users... I hope my other Protel scripts can help you out. ____________ Brian Guralnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] (514) 624-4003 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peder K.
