Nor does any other downstream flow as far as I know. However their =
restrictions are all different. It is gschem=92s job to give the user =
the freedom to feed them what they need.

There are many, many inconsistencies between the design of gschem and =
the design of pcb. We really should separate them: they are different =
projects that can interoperate, not sanely part of the same project. =
They will never be consistent.

You guys have worked hard to convince me that pcb is irreparable.

No, my attitude is that the limitations of pcb should not translate into =
limitations of gschem.

The problem is entirely on the pcb side of the interface.

I think you hate the freedom and power gschem/gnetlist offers to users.
