Yes, I saw the notes on gedasymbols.org, and also wrote to DJ
asking him for a CVS upload account on his site. He hasn't yet
gotten around to replying. I will change the filenames to conform
to this standard sometime soon.

I've already begun. I wish there was a "footprint viewer" app
which would just display one footprint file with variable mag,
the way gerb does for gerbers. That way, I could quickly download
and look at each footprint in detail.

If wishes were horses... :)

Thanks, I hadn't seen these.
