# An awful hack, not yet finished, written by Terry Porter <techman@dingoblue.net.au>

#  included.

# I'm learning Python as I go, and I'm a hardware guy with no formal
# programming experience, just a little basic C knowledge, and it shows. 

# Requires Python installed on your system.
# Is designed to work *only* with schematic capture files produced by
# gschem.

# Usage:    "./bom schematic.sch"
# this will produce "schematic.sch.bom"

# Bugs: If a part has no value it won't be listed.

# How does it work ? Bom just searches the gschem sch file for "uref"
# and value, saves them to a temp file then sorts them.
