New file formats
I have attached the XLR (Ultra Librarian
<http://www.accelerated-designs.com/%28S%28ofph1tm0f2zuq03h0th5ajfc%29%29/Links.aspx>)
text and html document
published by Frank Frank and a copy of a parser I have started.
I believe owners of the Ultra Librarian can produce this ASCII format
for their designs. A couple of IC vendors (National and MicroChip)
provide binary format footprints which can be imported into Ultra Librarian.
I was considering adding productions to this parser for outputing Kicad
format as part of a translation utility.
(Unix guys use yacc(bison)/lex(flex) for parsers)
Dick:
Look this over for ideas as a human readable, ASCII, parseable, usable
inuse for Footprints (and symbols) format.
for unix:
>mkdir test
>cd test
>sh xlr.sh
>x2lib XLR_Format.txt
