I believe he advocated adding onto gnetlist to simply format this extra data from the schematic into something everyone could use. To me that makes perfect sense.

Everything I have done to this point was to use my effort to code things that would pull in other people.

I was wrong in my initial negative opinion of that. -- Home http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ Work http://forge.abcd.harvard.edu/gf/project/epl_engineering/wiki/
