Re: gEDA-user: 7400, gschem and gsch2pcb

[David Logan <djlogan2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, maybe I'm being brain dead, but I'm reading that you're either not 
answering the question, or you're telling me conflicting information. 
I'm probably wrong on both counts, but I'm not seeing your point.

You tell me that I must have each gschem element represented by a 
footprint. But you tell me that having individual logic gates makes the 
schematic easier to read.

I wholly concur with the second half, but there is no "footprint" for 
each individual logic gate. Since you have also told me that since each 
logic gate must have its own footprint, I take that to mean by 
implication that I cannot use the individual logic gates, but must 
instead use a symbol that resembles an actual 7400 chip.

Can you clear up whatever it is I am missing from your replies?

Thanks!
