olib(1)				1.8.2.20130925			       olib(1)

NAME
       olib - OrCAD(tm)	library	part to	gEDA .sym converter

SYNOPSIS
       olib filename prefix

DESCRIPTION
       olib  is	 a  simple  automated  converter from OrCAD v4 (in SDT version
       1.10) ASCII parts library to gEDA component definition in  .sym	format
       file.  It  allow	 an initial dumb conversion file to file, with one lib
       converted in multiple .sym file,	one per	 component  in	library.   The
       converted  component  file  may need a little editing to	become usable,
       but in some case	needs no editing at all.  olib will write one file per
       part in the current directory.

       olib will:

             Convert box-shaped components in OrCAD lib to .sym file in  gEDA
	      format;

             Place pin, pin name, pin type, pin number;

             Place logic bubble when needed (DOT attribute in OrCAD (TM), for
	      logic negation);

             Place clock arrow	when needed (CLK attribute);

             Place reference, from REFERENCE statement	in OrCAD;

             Place part name as label and device name as attribute;

             Parse  and  draw	non-box	 component, with LINE, ARC, CIRCLE and
	      TEXT;

             Add power	pin as invisible net=name:pin attribute	when  detected
	      (in OrCAD, invisible pin has typically T0	and B0 coords);

             Through  a  command  line	switch,	hides pin name in VECTOR drawn
	      symbols, for a better appearance;

             Write both new (post-20020825) and old  (20020209)  file	format
	      for .sym files through a switch on the command line;

OPTIONS
       filename
	      The  OrCAD  library to convert. This should have been previously
	      converted	to ASCII format	using the OrCAD	'decomp' utility.

       prefix The prefix used to generate the filenames	 of  the  output  gEDA
	      symbols e.g.  prefix-partname-1.sym

LIMITATIONS
       olib has	the following limitations:

             olib  will  not  parse  and  store  alternate  component drawing
	      (statement CONVERT in OrCAD);

             olib will	not handle drawing part	using VECTOR list from another
	      part (statement VECTOR 'partname'	in OrCAD);

             olib will	not handle FILL	 statement  in	VECTOR	statement  (no
	      equivalent in gEDA);

             olib  will  not  handle  multiple	 part in one package (slots in
	      gEDA).
