howdy,

Perhaps you folks can help me on this problem we've been having 
with WorkView.  

The problem has to do with buses and the "Net has two names"
error.  

A simple example of this problem is when we try to connect
a single net on a bus to ground.  The ground symbol is simply
defined with a net name of "GND" so when we try to label the
net the name required to connect it to the bus, we get the 
error message: "Net has two names."  

At the moment we get around the problem through the use of a 
buffer (/lib/builtin/buf.1).  This works o.k. for simulation
but it sure doesn't netlist correctly.

Is there some other way around this problem?

-Gill
