Thank you Dan, that's exactly what I was looking for!  And they are M4
footprints, yay!  I love M4!  I adore M4!  (Right now I'm in the process
of reworking pcblib to work with The Real Thing, Dennis Ritchie's
original M4 from UNIX Version 7, instead of GNU M4.  I can't stand cheap
copycats.)

A question though.  Looking at this family of footprints and the
corresponding pages of the Digi-Key catalog, I see that I have a number
of choices.  EXB18V, EXB28V, EXB38V, EXBN8V and EXBV8V will all do the
job.  EXB18V is a bit too small for me, so I'll exclude it from my
consideration, and I have yet to decide whether I want the smaller
28V/N8V or the larger 38V/V8V.  But the really tough one to decide for
me is whether to go with the 28V/38V style or the N8V/V8V style.  Would
anyone happen to have a suggestion as to which is generally better /
easier to work with etc?

Thanks,
MS
