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  direc-
     tory.

     olib will:

     *	    Convert box-shaped components in OrCAD lib to .sym file in gEDA for-
	    mat;

     *	    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 sym-
	    bols, 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 con-
	    verted 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 equiva-
	    lent in gEDA);

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