Re: gEDA-user: hierarchy and refdes_renum



Hi Alex, please download the newest spnet on my site and let me know
how it goes, it should be a bit more compatible.

Here is whats new:

* Comments in both .spnetlibs and .spentrc (# is the comment character)
* Won't bail out on empty lines in either file above
* NMOS_TRANSISTOR and PMOS_TRANSISTOR as 4 terminal mosfets
* It doesnt matter if a component has brackets or not like in your
original example. If there is no brackets (therefore no attributes)
the component is ignored.
* All power symbols that come with gschem now work properly

Eager to here how this new version works and how compatible it is. In
the next release (perhaps tomorrow) I will add the support to pull
librarys already defined in gedarc files. Will also try to add autonet
naming for unnamed nets.
