Typically, I create footprints either in PCB itself, or using a script
that generates a variant of a standard footprint (i.e. an N-pin DIP
package).  But I often find the need to tweak the .fp file anyway,
especially to get the pin numbers in the right order.

For viewing footprint info, I almost always do that in pcb using the
"report" command.
