I don't mean that you always have to use formulas. I wrote:
'What we need is the >>>option<<< of using formulas and expressions'
What I mean is that we can do the job in the usual way, but for the
exceptions and the specials it might be helpfull.
We do have the option to use Client Basic in Protel, it is not necessary to
use it, but you can do nice things with it. Take a look at the several
usefull things which are written by Brian Guralnick.
The same is true for Excel, it is possible to use it without programming and
difficult formulas, but if you take some time to learn how to use the
'difficult' things it will pay-back.

certainly don't.
No, I like proto's which are almost equal to the production type. But
sometimes we use the same PCB for 2 production types. I don't want to
remember which parts on the BOM are needed for type A and/or type B. If all
the 'inteligence' is in the schematic and components, then I don't need to
rely on my memory if the project needs a revision. The intention of the
'examples' was only to explain the idea.
I will be back at 2 januari 2002, have a Merry Christmas,
