Well, it's about using a page connector to have a multi page flat schematic.  I've never really found a way that does not
generate a drc error.  Is there a way?  For me, it's moot now -- worked around it.


What I usually do, (and also did this time), is to use the gschem hierarchic-flat netlist that inserts subcircuit
refdes's into the flat netlist to give you net nodes such as S1/R33-2.  With that style, gnetlist follows the source= attributes 
to subcircuit schematics and my makefile works easily to process drc's netlists for any that are updated.

Multi page flat schematics would be some difficult makefile writing also, so dropping the "page connector to have a multi page 
flat schematic" request/question.
