Hm, a blind leads a blind.

Anyhow as I see it Ales is basically right. If you have components named
C1, C2 and C3 and then restarts gschem the next C-component added should
be namned 1, ie C1.

Is this script still in use? I thought it was retired and replaced by
some perl/awk/shell script thingie?

Noops, it doesn't.

It seems like you use this script in "batch mode" or I'm really lost.
It's intention is to be used interactivly. I haven't followed this
discussion too close. I thought noone used it anymore.
