Re: gEDA: gnetlist backend guide?

[Peter Kaiser <peter-at-NOSPAMeasy-asic_dot_de>]

Hi Dan,

It's a good idea to write a manual. One big advantage of gEDA is the 
possibiliy to change easily the netlist. 

If you like, you can use the ideas from my HOWTO. I am not working on it at 
the moment and have no plan to complete it in the near future.

If you need someone to discuss your idees and manual, I would volunteer.

Peter
