Michael . . . . I'm sorry that I left my comment at . . . . 5000 pins or *unlimited* , whichever comes first. I should have finished my thought and added . . . . Some EDA Vendors may claim unlimited pins , when in reality , they do have a limit , but they never think that you will exceed that limit. Resembles statements like * Plug-n-play * , * Never-needs ironing * , etc. . . . . I'll be more careful in the future to finish the thought . . . . Thanks . . .
