(as eveyone should have gnown anyway)

I think a few less  /\'s would be better in your resistor:
eg:
	-/\/\/\/-   or  -/\/\/- or,    perhaps:   ---v^v^v^---  (yuck)
It seems that all the resistor symbols that I've seen have three pointy
edges on each side, and the final zag goes in the opposite direction to the
initial zig.

Inductor:
	-uuuuu-   or   -wwwww-   or -mwmwmw-

you have to have 'em wiggly, no?  what do you do in the case of a

transformer:

	-wwwww-
	 =====
	-mmmmm-

Anyone interested in circuit symbols usable under Macdraw?
Drop me a line.
