Another something they should have put in the manuals!  And also, does that
really give you a PLCC with the correct pinout?  It sounds like it would
come out a bit strange.  In any event, it amounts to STATIC limits, which
may be just fine for a PC, but have no place in an Amiga program.

In talking with one of our Schema users here, it seems that Pro-Net compares
pretty well.  Each has a feature or two the other doesn't.  The netlist 
results can be compatible, in that Schema comes with some programs in BASIC
that generate netlists in different formats, one of which is the Calay
compatible format that Pro-Net generates.
