[PEDA] Using Mouse Wheel to Zoom

I find it hard to believe that I've had this wheel mouse for two years now, and still neither I nor anybody else who has posted to this forum has found a way to make the wheel run the zoom in/out function under Protel. The mouse is just sending scroll bar messages to Windows; all that's needed

[PEDA] Toggling Netlist Macros in 99SE SP6

I've seen the toggling macros that result from having two pins with the same number, where they are alternately added and deleted from the connections with successive netlist loads. This is similar, but slightly different. I have built a common-mode choke schematic symbol, with 4 pins each of
