I did just this a few months ago to send a cct to a PICliset'er.
He had never met the method but had no trouble manually drawing the
circuit.
I think an ASCII art drawer, possibly based on this method MAY be a
solution, provided that it was freeware and would run on all the
strange :-) Os's people seem to insist on using.
