Re: gEDA-user: Non-numeric refdes allowed in PCB?

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

I should say that PCB will accept the refdeses, but it can't seem to
find any nets attached to components with alpha refdeses.  That is, it
seems to think that there is no pin named (for example) Rbypass-1.

Just some additional info. . . .
