Is your 'RUBY and esoteric, unrelated, and useless items.' statement
related to my http://www.ssalewski.de/SFG.html.en ?

I really think that one is not fully useless...

Are your problems related to the obsolete mark() statement in old
footprint files, or to the grab mark, which is displayed on screen for
each footprint. I think the last one is related to the geometric center
of current footprint files.

I hope DJ's comments will help you -- if not you may point us to a
datasheet with the exact description of your desired footprint, maybe
someone can make it for you -- at least the basic shape.
