Could I remind people to change the subject line when things start straying from the original subject at hand please. Whilst I'm here (and no - the subject isn't right for it, is it ;)), I will just second John's statement that gEDA + Makefiles is a very powerful thing. I've just been collating some documentation for my thesis, and have been enjoying the ability to type a single "make" command, and regenerate my 70+ page PDF schematic after having made minor edits to the colour scheme file. Combine this with LyX / LaTeX, and the pdfpages package, and you can do some very nice things. I'm all for adding more GUI integration and giving people the option of using a GUI as well, but gEDA's strength is that the command line flows work really well too. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
