I could not possibly agree more. There is a school of thought that puts pins on chips in a schematic in the same orientation as on the physical chip. Readability be damned, they are determined to make it easy to count pins. (like it was ever hard?) This procrustean solution to a non-problem results in gordian knot schematics that almost completely obscure the shape of the circuit. I would compare this to putting the labels in a program in alphabetical order and "fixing" the resulting mess with gotos. :-P I know it takes all kinds, but I think we could do with less of that kind. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
