Re: gEDA-user: DRC2 Problem (gEDA-2005080313)

[Neal Baer <nbaer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carlos,
Thanks for your response. 
Do know, by commenting out the "scm_sort_list_x" call  in function "g_get_slots",
  
   * Will this affect "gnetlist -g drc2" report generation ?

   * Will this affect "gnetlist -g PCB"  netlist generation?

Thanks,

Neal
