Kai-Martin,

I used gsymcheck before I started to add some custom attributes to my 
symbols. After those attribute additions, gsymcheck would error on those 
attributes, so I could not use it as a last check before using the 
symbol. I was hoping to use gsymcheck in a script to verify all of my 
custom symbols before packaging them and releasing them for use. When it 
failed, I attempted to look at modifying gsymcheck to allow adding 
custom attributes in addition to the "canned" attributes, but I got 
bogged down in learning the gEDA library and how things worked. It 
became too much trouble. So I quit that task to just rely on my brain to 
check symbols from then on. Too bad. It could have been a nice tool.

Actually, gaf does some such checking and it seems to accept my custom 
attributes without complaining - at least in the "export" function I use 
for printing. I have not tried to use it to check my symbols, however. 
So much to do, so little time...
