OK, I'll use type= once I gain access to that information. I'm not sure
why label= even exists.

It works out perfectly for me, it fits nicely with the XNF format and
the way the unified library is defined. I'm cooking with gas, here.
Please make it stay this way, I think it makes perfect sense.


All I'm missing is access to the type= attribute on the pins, and I will
have a functional XNF netlister. Let me know if you check in an update
to gnetlist that allows me to get at the pin attributes. As soon as you
do that, I'll get get PIN records coming out right and I'll publish
what I have.
