My rant is that there is no standard library file format.
if MicroChip and other semi manufacturers said, this is the format and
offered all their chips on that format from them, the software
companies would have to follow. minimmaly with an import filter.
But, I, as others, make my own as it only takes a few minutes, and
most of us only use a very few chips.
I have found that many of the MicroChip parts are pin for pin, so one
only has to make one 18 pin chip and then re-label it.
