Thanks, John. Just flipping the PINSEQs in the sym files seems to work
fine, FYI. Very powerful.

BTW, your answer should be in the documentation ... someday. I spent a
couple of hours finding why a circuit didn't work as expected using
the default library. At least your answer will show up for anyone
antagonizing the Google.
