gEDA-user: Symbol Usage

[John Davies <john.davies@metagence.com>]

Hi All.

I have been using gschem and gnetlist and would prefer not to edit any
netlists that are created from gschem.  My thinking is that this could lead
to errors in the simulation, etc.  Therefore I would like to be able to
generate SPICE functions directly from the symbol.  The closest symbol
available for my needs is the VCVS in the gschem SPICE library.  This
produces a line in the netlist:-

Exx out+ out- in+ in- value

I can include anything I like in "value" since this is an attribute.  But
what I would really like to do is change the netlist to:-

Exx out+ out- transformer in+ in- value

Transformer is just an example.  It could be "laplace" for filters, etc.
There are many examples in SPICE where this type of netlist line is needed.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to the symbol to change it?

By the way, I am looking forward to trying gspice.

Best regards
