Re: gEDA-user: Is gnetman available for download anywhere?

one last thought.

If you want to use hierarchical buses then you have to be able to set a
symbols pin type to being a bus type.

The one mod that I would love to see in gschem is the ability to set the
pin type when editing a pin. I have done this for a couple of versions
of gschem in the past.

You can also use a text editor to set the pin type in the symbol file.
