cat << EOF
gnetlist is a netlist generation program. It takes as input gEDA/gaf .sch
(schematic) file and the required .sym (symbol) files and converts them into
netlists.

Currently (6/12/2002) gnetlist supports writing the following netlist formats:

    * Unix PCB (2 separate backends)
    * Allegro
    * BAE
    * Gossip
    * Maxascii
    * PADS
    * ProtelII
    * Spice
    * Tango
    * Verilog
    * VHDL-VAMS
    * VHDL
    * Vipec
    * Several BOM generators
    * Start of a DRC backend
    * gEDA/gaf's own testing backend

gnetlist supports the hierarchical traversal and various net merging/renaming
methods. The greatest feature lacking from gnetlist is bus support.
