	Hello,

This almost works, thanks! I have modified TYCO_FSMJSM.fp to have
two pins named and numbered "1", and two pins named and numbered "2".
The resulting .pcb and .net files do almost what I want - pcb considers
both pins in a given pair to be part of the same net. Good.

The problem is, that it still requires the pins in a pair to be connected
with a PCB trace (it displays a rat line connecting pins 1 and 2,
and another connecting pins 3 and 4).

How can I fix that? Thanks,

-Yenya
