Sniff, too bad :( You know, I remember taking a look at the code when I
encountered this the first time. I was not happy to see how rather
complicated this e2db thingy is. Probably weren't the first person who
did and decided the same as you i.e. ignore it.

One day...

Cheers,
Ben ;-)

PS: The "FATAL error" with frame around schematic appeared here only
after we (recently) upgraded to a new CapFast version. With previous
version it didn't happen because of error in sch2edif (frame was not in
edif file) and so floats up as e2db problem only now.
But nobody minds: Old version had such a horrible performance. Had to
run it as remote X-client since program was strictly tied to an ancient
machine due to company's strange licensing policy and the beast had
absolutely *no* optimization of repaint events. Drives you crazy to see
schematic slooowly repainted a hundred or so times whenever you forgot
again that you MUST NOT drag another window across it. Can you believe
how much I loved CapFast?
