Hi,

FWIW, in case you didn't read already ... have a look at:

http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:faq-gnetlist

and read the paragraph which mentions the use of a file named "attribs" 
with the "key"s listed (maybe order does matter ?, and use "key" and 
"value" as in "key=value" as per gschem attribute convention.

Just my 0.02 EUR.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
