Subject: [geda-user] Multiple symbols for a single device?

Hi Everyone,

I'm playing around with gEDA again.  Every time I do, I learn
something new.  I'm working with symbols right now, and noticed that
Bill Gatliff (http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/bill_gatliff/) separated
the ATMEGA48/8/168 device into separate symbols.  Is this what I
should do for devices with many pins? What special logic hooks the
symbols back together when I convert to PCB? Is it just the refdes, or
is there something else I should do also?
Thanks so much!
