Re: gEDA-user: External attribute read/write - how?

[Mike Crowe <mcrowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to second Franks request.  

Our company has an established  internal parts database (mysql) from
which I'd like to be able to use to stuff attributes with.  I've looked
at the raw schematic file format and it appears to be straight forward
(except for auto placement on the schematic of the hidden text).  Like
gattrib, I see this database-attrib tool as a separate application.
What functionality does libgeda possess toward this application that
would compel me to use it?  Some simple attrib parsing components?

Thanks
