Re: gEDA-user: uEDA .. was .. Re: Heavy Symbols and such



John,

The beauty of geda and its scheme capabilities is that any file format
that is reasonably well deffined can be supported.

Instead of railing at at Al start helping to nail doen the deffinitions
on the formats your prefer.

As I have said my short term goals are to provide output support for
verilog, vhdl and spice.

Given these what can you do with them?
