Re: gEDA-user: import of PCB models and footprints

[andrew whyte <ajwhyte@xxxxxxxxx>]

No problems Ray,

  It looks like analog plan to support Eagle CAD as you can submit a
request from your link.

  If you do convert Mythros algorithm to python,  I'd be interested to
know how if it was a problem - my suspicion is that the formats get
tweaked as vendors add new features - they don't expect people to be
peering over their shoulders.
