Yeah, that's sorta what I thought -- it shouldn't be too hard to do. I would
just
rather spend my time developing electronics hardware than writing support
s/w.
I get paid for the former, and not for the latter :-)

May I ask what you used to write your netlist conversion package? I would
probably
use C but it seems there will be much parsing of text strings, and if
there's a language
that does it more conveniently, I would like to know.

Thanks for the input,
