Hello Philip,

I have been making too many objects in one of my libraries.  So I'm
attempting to split it into multiple technologies.

So far I'm failing to find an elegant way to do this

There is now in xcircuit-3.8 (latest git source, tarball to be
generated overnight) a command extension to

        technology objects <techname>

which was an already-implemented command and listed all of the objects
belonging to a technology.  Now you can do

        technology objects <techname> <list>

with <list> being a list of objects to be removed from their existing
technology namespace and added to the technology namespace <techname>.

The simple GUI for this command is to go to a library page, select a
bunch of library objects you want to gather together in a new
technology library file, and then choose menu option "Edit --> Change
Technology".  The names of the selected objects will appear in the
text edit box.  Then select the target technology and click on "Okay",
and it's done.  If you want to put everything under a technology
namespace that doesn't exist, there's an option in the technology
selection box for "Add New Tech".

Hopefully these changes make it much more convenient to organize a
large number of objects into different technology files.

                                        Regards,
                                        Tim
